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 کاملA comparison of thoracic or lumbar patient-controlled epidural analgesia methods after thoracic surgery
BACKGROUND We aimed to compare patient-controlled thoracic or lumbar epidural analgesia methods after thoracotomy operations. METHODS One hundred and twenty patients were prospectively randomized to receive either thoracic epidural analgesia (TEA group) or lumbar epidural analgesia (LEA group). In both groups, epidural catheters were administered. Hemodynamic measurements, visual analog scale...
متن کاملThoracic Epidural versus Morphine Patient Controlled Analgesia After Laparoscopic Colectomy
Despite the benefits of the laparoscopic approach to colorectal surgery patients still experience significant levels of pain postoperatively. This study aimed to compare the use of thoracic epidural vs. morphine patient controlled analgesia in the management of pain after laparoscopic colorectal surgery. A retrospective analysis of hospital records was performed for 16 patients undergoing lapar...
متن کاملEfficacy of postoperative patient-controlled and continuous infusion epidural analgesia versus intravenous patient-controlled analgesia with opioids: a meta-analysis.
The authors performed a meta-analysis and found that epidural analgesia overall provided superior postoperative analgesia compared with intravenous patient-controlled analgesia. For all types of surgery and pain assessments, all forms of epidural analgesia (both continuous epidural infusion and patient-controlled epidural analgesia) provided significantly superior postoperative analgesia compar...
