ANALGESIA, PATIENT-CONTROLLED

Specialty Definition: ANALGESIA, PATIENT-CONTROLLED

DomainDefinition

Health

Relief of pain, without loss of consciousness, through an analgesic agent administered by the patient. It has been used successfully to control postoperative pain, during labor, after burns, and in terminal care. The choice of agent, dose, and lockout interval greatly influence effectiveness. The potential for overdose can be minimized by combining small bolus doses with a mandatory interval between successive doses (lockout interval). (references)
