Nurses and patients prefer subcutaneous injections using cannulas. A new algorithm allows for more frequent subcutaneous opioid administration, improving pain relief for surgical patients.

Area of Science:

  • Anesthesiology
  • Pain Management
  • Surgical Nursing

Background:

  • Patient and nurse preference favors subcutaneous injections via indwelling subcutaneous cannulas.
  • Improved pain management is crucial for patients undergoing intermediate and minor surgery.
  • Current methods may limit frequent administration of subcutaneous opioids.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate a novel algorithm for frequent subcutaneous opioid administration.
  • To assess the safety and acceptability of this new method.
  • To improve pain relief in surgical patients.

Main Methods:

  • Development of an algorithm for subcutaneous opioid administration.
  • Implementation of the algorithm in patients undergoing intermediate and minor surgery.

  • Assessment of safety, acceptability, and pain relief efficacy.

    • Main Results:

    • The algorithm provides a safe mechanism for administering subcutaneous opioids.
    • The method is acceptable to both nurses and patients.
    • Frequent administration of subcutaneous opioids improved pain relief.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed algorithm offers a safe and acceptable approach for frequent subcutaneous opioid delivery.
    • This method enhances pain management for patients recovering from intermediate and minor surgery.
    • Subcutaneous administration via indwelling cannulas is a preferred and effective route for opioid analgesia.
