Programmed intermittent epidural bolus vs. patient‐controlled epidural analgesia for maintenance of labour analgesia: a two‐centre, double‐blind, randomised study †

Anaesthesia, 2020
The programmed intermittent epidural bolus technique has shown superiority to continuous epidural infusion techniques, with or without patient‐controlled epidural analgesia for pain relief, reduced motor block and patient satisfaction.

Side Effect Rates of Opioids in Equianalgesic Doses Via Intravenous Patient-Controlled Analgesia: A Systematic Review and Network Meta-analysis.

Anesthesia and Analgesia, 2019
BACKGROUND Side effects of opioids used for the treatment of acute pain frequently limit their analgesic quality. Many studies have compared opioid side effects in patient-controlled analgesia (PCA), but it remains unclear whether there are specific side

Patient-Controlled Analgesia

Annals of Internal Medicine, 1983
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.

Patient-controlled Analgesia after Major Shoulder Surgery 

Anesthesiology, 1997
Background 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.

Patient-controlled analgesia

Paediatrics and Child Health, 2009
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, 1991
A 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 ...

Patient-controlled analgesia.

Nursing times, 2002
This overview has addressed some of the key principles relating to patient-controlled analgesia. It is important to remember that PCA will continue to develop in the future and new techniques are being devised. PCA can provide an effective method of analgesia for many patients.

Patient controlled analgesia in adolescents

Pain, 1987
Patient-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.
