Objectives of this study were to describe the triage pain treatment protocols used, knowledge of pain management modalities, and barriers and attitudes towards implementation of pain treatment protocols. A paper-based survey was administered to all triage nurses at three Canadian pediatric emergency departments, between December 2011 and January 2012. The response rate was 86% (n=126/147). The mean respondent age was 40 years (standard deviation [SD] 9.3) with 8.6 years (SD 7.7) of triage experience. General triage emergency department (GTED) nurses rated adequacy of triage pain treatment lower than pediatric-only triage emergency department (PTED) nurses (P < .001). GTED nurses reported a longer acceptable delay between triage time and administration of analgesia than PTED nurses (P < .002). Most nurses rated more comfort with a protocol...
