Using a portable infusion pump, intravenous opioid patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) permits a patient to self-deliver a small bolus of opioid to achieve prompt relief without over sedation. Use of PCA for pain management is increasing in hospitals, largely because it can provide equivalent or better analgesia than conventional nurse-administered ...

In appropriately selected patients, PCA safely provides analgesia superior to that obtained with traditional IM prn opioid administration; however, to date, no compelling evidence shows that PCA is associated with a reduction in morbidity or a more rapid recovery.

Patient-controlled Analgesia after Major Shoulder Surgery
Anesthesiology, 1997Background The authors compared patient-controlled interscalene analgesia (PCIA) with local anesthetics with intravenous patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) with opioids to manage postoperative pain after major shoulder surgery.

Abstract Patient controlled analgesia (PCA) is any method of allowing a person in pain to administer their own pain relief. In a hospital setting PCA refers to an electronically controlled infusion pump that delivers a prescribed amount of intravenous analgesic to the patient when he or she activates a button.

Patient-Controlled Epidural Analgesia
Obstetrical & Gynecological Survey, 1991A double-blind, placebo-controlled study was designed to compare the efficacy of demand-dose patient-controlled epidural analgesia (PCEA) with continuous epidural infusion (CEI) for treatment of pain during labor and delivery. Forty patients were randomized to receive 0.125% bupivacaine with fentanyl (2 micrograms/mL) through CEI at 12 mL/h or through ...
