简要总结
To examine whether providing patients with a cue to the availability of pain medication affects patient satisfaction, patient anxiety, PCA efficacy, and safety.
详细描述
Post-operative pain is primarily managed via Patient-Controlled Analgesia (PCA). The newest PCA pumps can be programmed so that the button is backlit with a green light at the end of the lockout period, and the green light flashes when the medication is being dispensed. No studies have examined whether this type of visual cue would influence satisfaction or other patient outcomes (such as opioid consumption, PCA safety and patient anxiety) in children and adolescents, and no studies have examined whether pediatric patients' perspectives would be similar to those of adults.

研究组 & 干预措施
Cues
The PCA pump will be programmed to provide a cue to the end of the lockout period.
干预措施: Patient-Controlled Analgesia pump with Cues (Device)
Cues
The PCA pump will be programmed to provide a cue to the end of the lockout period.
干预措施: Morphine (Drug)
No Cues
The PCA pump will be programmed such that no cues will be provided to the end of the lockout period (current standard of care).
干预措施: Patient-Controlled Analgesia pump without Cues (Device)
No Cues
The PCA pump will be programmed such that no cues will be provided to the end of the lockout period (current standard of care).
干预措施: Morphine (Drug)
结局指标
主要结局
Patient Satisfaction Questionnaire
时间窗: Up to 72 hours
Patient satisfaction with their PCA pump. Satisfaction was measured on a 0 to 10 scale, with higher numbers indicating greater satisfaction.
次要结局
- Opioid Consumption (Total Amount of Opioid Consumed Post-operatively)(Post-op Days [POD] 0 - 2, up to 72 hours)
- Anxiety (State Anxiety on POD 1 and POD 2)(Up to 72 hours)
