AbstractPatient-Controlled Analgesia is a new method of narcotic delivery. It allows titration of analgesic drugs to the individual patient's requirements. It provides superior pain relief for many patients, minimize narcotic side effects and reduces patients' dependence upon nursing personnel for their pain relief. It may shorten postoperative recovery time and decrease hospital length of stay. At a time when physicians and hospitals are feeling compelled to hasten patients' recovery and still provide good quality of care, Patient-Controlled Analgesia may be an excellent way to accomplish both goals.
