Patient-controlled analgesia versus conventional intramuscular injection: a cost-effectiveness analysis
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Health technology The use of patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) for Chinese women in the first 24 hours following elective gynaecological surgery was compared with the use of intermittent intramuscular (IM) injection. A PCA machine delivered morphine intravenously by bolus, with a lockout time of 8 to 10 minutes. For IM treatment, the morphine doses were 0.1 0.2 mg/kg, with a maximum of 10 mg every 3 hours.

Patient-controlled analgesia versus conventional intramuscular injection: a cost effectiveness analysis.
BACKGROUND In previous studies comparing patient-controlled-analgesia and intramuscular pain management have been unable to provide conclusive evidence of the benefits of either method of postoperative pain control. AIM The purpose of the study was to compare the efficacy and cost-effectiveness of intravenous patient-controlled-analgesia with intermittent intramuscular morphine for Chinese wo...

متن کاملCost considerations in patient-controlled analgesia.
Patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) is the use of a portable infusion pump activated by the patient to inject an analgesic drug intravenously, subcutaneously or epidurally. PCA permits a patient to deliver a small bolus of opioid to achieve prompt relief without over sedation. Use of PCA for pain management is increasing in hospitals and home settings, largely because it can provide equivalent o...
متن کاملPatient 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. ...
