    Patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) effectively manages postoperative pain, with 84% of patients preferring it over conventional methods. This study highlights PCA

    Area of Science:

    • Anesthesiology
    • Pharmacology
    • Pain Management

    Context:

    • Postoperative pain management is crucial for patient recovery.
    • Patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) offers an alternative to traditional analgesia methods.
    • Elective major and minor surgeries necessitate effective pain control strategies.

    Purpose:

    • To evaluate the efficacy and patient acceptance of intravenous patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) using morphine.
    • To compare morphine consumption and pain relief in patients undergoing abdominal versus orthopedic surgery.
    • To assess the influence of anesthetic technique on PCA requirements.

    Summary:

    • 40 patients received PCA with morphine via an On-Demand Analgesia Computer (ODAC) post-surgery.
    • Morphine consumption varied significantly between individuals and surgery types (abdominal vs. orthopedic).

  • PCA demonstrated excellent overall efficacy and patient acceptance, with 84% preferring it to conventional methods.

    • Impact:

    • PCA provides superior pain relief and patient satisfaction compared to traditional methods.
    • Understanding variability in PCA use can optimize postoperative pain management protocols.
    • This study supports the widespread adoption of PCA for effective postoperative pain control.
