Multimodal Pain Management Protocol Versus Patient Controlled Narcotic Analgesia for Postoperative Pain Control after Shoulder Arthroplasty

  Background: Our institution’s traditional pain management strategy after shoulder arthroplasty has involved the utilization of postoperative patient-controlled narcotic analgesia. More recently, we have implemented a protocol (TLC) that utilizes a multimodal approach. The purpose of this study was to determine whether this change has improved pain control and decreased narcotic utilization. ...

Patient controlled analgesia versus conventional analgesia for postoperative pain

  Purpose: Patients may control postoperative pain by self-administration of intravenous opioids   using devices designed for this purpose (patient controlled analgesia or PCA). This study set out   to determine whether any of the two opioid administrations (i.e. PCA or conventional analgesia)   would provide superior pain relief among patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy   or not. ...
