No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Total hip replacement (THR) is frequently followed by high pain experience. Epidural analgesia is a mainstay in postoperative treatment in patients after THR. The investigators found that patient-controlled epidural analgesia (PCEA) decreases total analgesics consumption compared to conventional method of analgesia based on physician's prescription while maintaining similar pain relief and safety profile. Therefore, PCEA should be considered the first choice method of analgesia in patients undergoing THR.
