| The patient controlled administration of intravenous morphine has been studied widely and proven its efficacy. The administration devices however have changed in the course of their use and the impact of these devices has not been studied even though there are severe differences in patient feedback between the commercially available devices. It is suggested by the auther that, since it has been proven that patient satisfaction increases while the opioid dose remains similar, part of the satisfaction is dependend on auditive or visual cues provided by the PCIA systems inducing a placebo effect. In this pilot study we performed a posthoc analysis of data. comparing the evolution of reported pain scores through the numeric rating scale (NRS) by patient between an analogue (Vygon Freedom 5) and a digital (CADD Solis VIP ambulatory Pump. Smiths Medical) PCIA pump for the administration of the same morphine/dehydrobenzperidol solution during a 5 day period after surgery'. No difference opioid dosage was considered, only a difference in NRS. Data analysis was performed through independent T-Testing on every measurement point, after checking for normality, using the IBM SPSS statistics software. Both groups showed a similar downward trend as is expected in a postoperative trajectory. Although a difference in trendline was obtained, no significant result was obtained between two groups. As was expected since this study served as a pilot study to determine the scale of future research. |
