Summary

The purpose of this study is to improve IV-Patient Controlled Analgesia (IV-PCA) technique for postoperative analgesia. Investigators are comparing between patient re-education and the background morphine infusion among patients who fail to achieve satisfactory analgesia using IV-PCA Morphine after laparotomy.

Conditions

  • Post-operative Pain

Interventions

DRUG

morphine

Investigators use the formula that was published by Pamela Macintyre in her paper entitled "Age is the Best Predictor of Postoperative Morphine Requirements." The estimation for the first 24-hour morphine requirement after surgery is calculated as: 100 - age (year). So, half of the total 24-hour morphine requirement will be infused over 24 hours. e.g. background morphine infusion= (100-Age)/ 2/ 24 (mg/hour)

BEHAVIORAL

Patient re-education

A similar leaflet will be used to re-educate patient at 4 hour after surgery. The correct method to initiate IV-PCA dose, possible side effects and addiction issue will be explained again and re-emphasized
