People living with sickle cell disease can experience severe “pain crises”, or vaso-occlusive episodes (VOE), and are at increased risk for infections, strokes, heart failure, and other serious disease processes. In this 3 part series, we’re talking with experts to learn more about sickle cell disease and its complications and how we can best advocate for and treat these patients in the ED. In part 1, we delved into assessment and management of patients presenting with VOE.

In this episode, we focus specifically on kids presenting with VOE. We know these patients have usually exhausted their home pain control options and are still in excruciating pain when they arrive in the ED. We interviewed Dr. Chris Rees about his recent paper on the benefits of treating kids with VOE with an initial dose of intranasal fentanyl. The results are pretty impressive!

Stay tuned for Part 3 of our series where we’ll explore the management of other emergent presentations related to sickle cell disease!
