The majority of cancer patients at the terminal stage experience pain as a major symptom, and less than 60% of patients receive adequate pain relief. To relieve this symptom we have placed epidural catheters and attached them to an implantable access system. On this method the patients required 0.4-3.5 mg of morphine per hour with occasional boluses. Catheter life span ranged from 15 to 157 days with an average of 57 days.
大多数晚期癌症患者都经历疼痛这一主要症状，且不到60%的患者获得了充分的疼痛缓解。为缓解这一症状，我们放置了硬膜外导管并将其连接到可植入式接入系统。采用这种方法，患者每小时需要0.4 - 3.5毫克吗啡，偶尔还需推注。导管使用寿命从15天到157天不等，平均为57天。
