Summary
Subcutaneous perfusion is an underused technique, the effectiveness of which has been
demonstrated.
A number of drugs of different therapeutic classes, including morphine, have a good level of
scientific evidence for use by this route.
Subcutaneous Acetaminophen injection is being used in some medical centers, mainly in Europe,
despite the lack of definite evidence on its efficacy.
This study aims to quantify the degree of effectiveness of subcutaneous Acetaminophen
infusions for pain or fever in Geriatrics and Palliative Care, as well as determining its
safety.
