Observational StudySublingual sufentanil tablet system for the management of acute postoperative pain in a hospital setting: an observational study.
The use of a strong opioid with intravenous patient-controlled analgesia (IV-PCA) is recommended for postoperative pain, but its use is restricted due to technical problems. Other delivery systems, like sublingual PCA, with the sufentanil tablet system (SSTS) device, could overcome the safety concerns related to IV-PCA. ⋯ Under a real-life clinical practice setting, SSTS provides effective pain management and is easy to use for patients and nurses.
