So as part of today's reading, I come across information on immune modulation by opioids...
Without getting too much on the molecular details and boring you all, I would like to just put to discussion that the effects of aggresively treating pain may actually help to fight infection.
It seems in my mind, that would have considerable implications for EMS providers.
Treating something like pain from a wound to help prevent infection (by multiple mechanisms I don't want to type out) or reducing chronic infective processes in dialysis patients with post dialysis pain.
What do you think?
