AbstractThe use of PCA for the treatment of pain is a valuable and growing practice. The technique for PCA initiation and management has been described. This mode of therapy should be in the therapeutic armamentarium of every clinician managing postoperative pain because PCA provides better analgesia than conventional IM or IV narcotic therapy and is generally associated with fewer side effects.
