RESUMO
A study was conducted to evaluate patient response to patient controlled analgesia (PCA) devices. All patients were interviewed for this concurrent study. A survey was also taken with the nursing staff for their assessments regarding PCA therapy and comparison of outcomes between morphine and meperidine use. Our goal was to see what improvements could be made in pain management and patient therapy wherever possible.

A case of complete duplication of the left femur is presented. This anomaly was associated with ipsilateral tibial hemimelia, lumbar myelomeningocele, extrophy of the cloaca, ambiguous genitalia, imperforate anus, and omphalocele. The constellation of anomalies implies an insult at about the fourth week of gestation. Maternal ingestion of hydroxyzine was reported in this case. Management of the limb anomaly was by resection of the duplicate femur and malformed leg. Preoperative arteriography was found helpful.
