ABSTRACT

Objective To compare the clinical effect and side effect of intravenous patient controlled intravenous analgesia (PCIA) with patient controlled epidural analgesia (PCEA). Methods Two hundred and fourty postoperative patients,who were randomly divided into three groupsgroup PCIA,group PCEA and control, 80 cases for each group,and the recovery of bowel movement,urinary retention,nausea,vomiting,pruritis,respiratory depression,postpartum hemorrhage,lactation and recovery of uterus were observed after operation. Results Overall patients in two PCA groups were satisfied with the postoperative analgesia. The incidence of urinary retention in group PCIA were significantly lower than that in group PCEA( P 0 05). There were no remarkable differences between two PCA groups and control in the incidence of postartum hemorrhage, lactation and recovery of uterus. Conclusions Both PCIA and PCEA have excellent analgesic effect. PCIA has lower incidence of urinary retention,and has higher sedative incidence compared with PCEA.
