Current Drug Targets, 2005
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 ...

Variable-dose patient-controlled analgesia. [PDF]
Anaesthesia, 1995 One size of patient-controlled analgesia demand dose does not suit all patients after surgery. We have constructed a new patient-controlled analgesia system (variable-dose patient-controlled analgesia) in which patients have a choice of demand dose sizes.

Surgical Clinics of North America, 1999
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 is a relatively new and investigational technique that permits patients to treat pain by directly activating doses of intravenous narcotics. The technique was developed in response to the undertreatment of pain in hospitalized patients.

Patterns of patient-controlled analgesia and intramuscular analgesia
Applied Nursing Research, 1995Effective management of acute pain is a major nursing goal. The purpose of this study was to identify patient patterns in intravenous patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) and intramuscular (IM) analgesia for patients after surgery. The patients who received analgesia via PCA had shorter lengths of stay. The morphine PCA patients used more medication than

Patient controlled analgesia in adolescents
Pain, 1987Patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) is a method of administering narcotics in which the patient activates a machine to administer a small bolus of narcotic. In the first year of PCA use in our hospital, 26 patients used PCA. We suggest a dose volume of 0.015 mg/kg/dose and a 4-hour limit of 0.25 mg/kg/4 hr, with a lock-out of 10 minutes.

Patient-Controlled Epidural Analgesia for Labor
Anesthesia & Analgesia, 2009Patient-controlled epidural analgesia (PCEA) for labor was introduced into clinical practice 20 yr ago. The PCEA technique has been shown to have significant benefits when compared with continuous epidural infusion. We conducted a systematic review using MEDLINE and EMBASE (1988-April 1, 2008) of all randomized, controlled trials in parturients who ...
