  • Title: [Clinical aspects of using patient-controlled analgesia with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory agents in postoperative period].
    Author: Nikoda VV, Maiachkin RB, Bondarenko AV.
    Journal: Anesteziol Reanimatol; 2003; (5):56-9. PubMed ID: 14671913.
    Abstract:
    We used lornoxicam (n = 16) and ketorolac (n = 20) to study the possibilities of applying the non-steroid anti-inflammatory drugs within the postoperative patient-controllable analgesia (PCA). With respect to a used analgetic, the frequency rate of good PCA anesthetic results was found, on day 1, to be 60-77%. The good anesthetic results were registered in 25% of patients when the routine scheme was in use. Non-steroid anti-inflammatory agents (lornoxicam, ketorolac) can be prescribed within the early postoperative PCA as basic analgetics, which essentially reduces the need in promedol without worsening the analgesia efficiency.
