Abstract:
The American Association of Nurse Anesthesiology (AANA) Board of Directors in November 2021 approved updated Chronic Pain Management Guidelines. Input was collected from various stakeholders, including the AANA Practice Committee, AANA staff, subject matter experts, and feedback from the Nonsurgical Pain Management Advisory Panel. A 2-week open comment period was held to solicit feedback from AANA membership on the draft document. The document adopted the recently revised definition of pain by the International Association for the Study of Pain.
