The Efficacy of Intravenous Patient-Controlled Analgesia After Intracranial Surgery of the Posterior Fossa

Abstract: IV PCA use resulted in reduction in postoperative pain compared with PRN analgesic therapy after surgery of the posterior fossa. Larger studies will be required to determine the safety of IV PCA in this patient population.

“…Perhaps not surprisingly, pediatric patients who received IV PCA or PNCA received more opioid analgesics than those who received nurse administered PRN analgesics. These results are the same as previously reported in adult patients undergoing craniotomy surgery . However, unlike the adult studies, this increase in opioid consumption seen with PCA or PNCA did not result in differences in pain scores or in patient satisfaction.…”

“…Patients receiving PCA or PNCA received nearly three to five times as much opioid as did patients receiving nurse administered PRN opioids. Unlike studies in adult patients, this increase in opioid consumption did not result in differences in pain scores or in patient satisfaction . Indeed, in this study, there were no differences in average pain score, length of stay, or parental satisfaction with care regardless of the method of analgesic therapy.…”
