For physicians practicing in a Canadian paediatric ED setting, we (1) explored theoretical practice variation in the provision of analgesia to children with acute abdominal pain; (2) identified reasons for withholding analgesia; and (3) evaluated the relationship between providing analgesia and surgical consultation.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"S1481803515001128_abs2\" sec-type=\"methods\"><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>Physician members of Paediatric Emergency Research Canada (PERC) were prospectively surveyed and presented with three scenarios of undifferentiated acute abdominal pain to assess management. A modified Dillman\u2019s Tailored Design method was used to distribute the survey from June to July 2014.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"S1481803515001128_abs3\" sec-type=\"results\"><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Overall response rate was 74.5% (149\/200); 51.7% of respondents were female and mean age was 44 (SD 8.4) years. The reported rates of providing analgesia for case scenarios representative of renal colic, appendicitis, and intussusception, were 100%, 92.1%, and 83.4%, respectively, while rates of providing intravenous opioids were 85.2%, 58.6%, and 12.4%, respectively. In all 60 responses where the respondent indicated they would obtain a surgical consultation, analgesia would be provided. In the 35 responses where analgesia would be withheld, 21 (60%) believed pain was not severe enough, while 5 (14.3%) indicated it would obscure a surgical condition.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"S1481803515001128_abs4\" sec-type=\"conclusions\"><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>Pediatric emergency physicians self-reported rates of providing analgesia for acute abdominal pain scenarios were higher than previously reported, and appeared unrelated to request for surgical consultation. However, an unwillingness to provide opioid analgesia, belief that analgesia can obscure a surgical condition, and failure to take self-reported pain at face value remain, suggesting that the need exists for further knowledge translation efforts.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1017\/cem.2015.112","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,1,25]],"date-time":"2016-01-25T09:38:37Z","timestamp":1453714717000},"page":"323-330","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":10,"title":["Reported
