Summary
To enhance post-operative pain management, patient-controlled intravenous analgesia (PCIA)
has been employed. The fentanyl background PCIA therapy was created to solve the limitations
of IV-based PCIA, such as programming errors, mobility limitations, and the risk of needle
stick injuries. The goal of this trial was to observe how fentanyl patient-controlled
intravenous analgesia pump (PCIA) and background infusion is worked in patients with
post-total hip replacement analgesia.
