Roberts1 | Peter A Windsor2 1 Clinical Resolutions, Hessle, UK 2 Sydney School of Veterinary Science, Painful animal husbandry procedures are routinely performed in a range of live- Sydney, Australia stock species without analgesia. Recently, innovative strategies have been devel- oped to address wound pain in these animals. In particular, a farmer-applied “spray Correspondence Christopher D.

This development, described as a “pain management revolution,” has become firmly established in the Australian livestock industries and has global potential. The positive outcomes of this approach provide insights and highlight potential benefits that may be accrued from its use in human wound care, providing rapid-onset wound analgesia and/or anaesthetising wounds prior to cleansing and debridement procedures. If these benefits are realised from a clinician and patient perspective for wound debridement as an initial indication, it could provide new horizons in pain management for a spectrum of wound-related procedures. Evi- dence from use in animal husbandry does support the concept that multimodal anaesthesia holds
