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. ...

متن کاملCan remifentanil use in obstetrics be improved by optimal patient-controlled analgesia bolus timing?
BACKGROUND The safety of patient-controlled i.v. analgesia (PCA) with remifentanil for obstetrical analgesia remains a matter of concern. The efficacy of remifentanil bolus application, that is, the coincidence between pain and remifentanil effect-site concentration, may be improved by forecasting contractions, but it is not known whether such a technique would also improve safety. METHODS We...
متن کاملCan intravenous patient-controlled analgesia be omitted in patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery for colorectal cancer?

We hypothesized that PCA was not essential in patients undergoing major abdominal surgery by minimal invasive approach. METHODS Between February 2013 and August 2013, 297 patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery for col...
