The usefulness of dual channel elastomeric pump for intravenous patient-controlled analgesia in geriatrics: a randomized, double-blind, prospective study.
Abstract
Intravenous patient-controlled analgesia (IV-PCA) is often used in the postoperative period. However, determining an appropriate opioid dose is difficult. A previous study suggested the usefulness of variable-rate feedback infusion. In this study, we used a dual-channel elastomeric infusion pump to provide changes in PCA infusion rate by pain feedback.
