Continuous epidural morphine infusion provided satisfactory pain relief for postoperative and chronic pain patients. This method offers advantages over repeated epidural injections, improving patient outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Anesthesiology
  • Pain Management
  • Pharmacology

Background:

  • Postoperative pain management remains a significant clinical challenge.
  • Epidural analgesia is effective but often requires repeated administrations.
  • Continuous infusion offers a potential alternative for sustained pain relief.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the clinical efficacy of continuous epidural morphine infusion.
  • To assess the safety and effectiveness of the Act-A-Pump 1000 for epidural drug delivery.
  • To compare continuous infusion with intermittent epidural injections for pain control.

Main Methods:

  • Continuous epidural morphine infusion using the Act-A-Pump 1000.
  • Treatment of 11 patients with postoperative pain after abdominal surgery.
