Summary:A survey of the analgesia regimens used in burns units throughout the UK was performed.

Other methods include: patient-controlled analgesia in appropriate patients, bolus doses of opiates combined with Entonox for control of peaks of pain and a wide variety of oral analgesics for less painful burn injuries.
