To assess the value of a morphine Patient Controlled Intravenous Analgesia (PCIA) after Tonsillectomies (TE).
30 adult patients were treated with oral analgesics (protocol group) and compared to 30 patients treated with a morphine PCIA for the first 3 Postoperative Days (PODs) after TE. Average and maximum pain severities (Numeric Rating Scale - NRS: 0-10) on PODs 1-3, analgesic score, quality of life, patient satisfaction and side effects were defined as outcome measures.
Average pain severities of the protocol and the PCIA group were of similar magnitude (NRS) (POD1: 4.48 vs. 4.71 [p = 0.68], POD2: 4.75 vs. 4.22 [p = 0.32] and POD3: 4.44 vs. 4.25 [p = 0.71]). Maximum pain intensities on POD1 (p = 0.92), POD2 (p = 0.51) and POD3 (p = 0.36) were also comparable between both groups. Patients with a PCIA consumed significantly more opioids (p = 0.001) without significant more side-effects.
The PCIA did not provide a superior pain control compared to oral analgesics. In view of the considerable effort and the high opioid consumption, it cannot be recommended as a standardized application for pain control after TE.
评估扁桃体切除术后（TE）应用吗啡患者自控静脉镇痛（PCIA）的价值。
30 例成人患者采用口服镇痛药（方案组）治疗，并与 30 例术后第 1-3 天应用吗啡 PCIA 的患者进行比较。术后第 1-3 天的平均和最大疼痛强度（数字评分量表-NRS：0-10）、镇痛评分、生活质量、患者满意度和副作用被定义为结局指标。
方案组和 PCIA 组的平均疼痛强度（NRS）相似（POD1：4.48 比 4.71[P=0.68]，POD2：4.75 比 4.22[P=0.32]，POD3：4.44 比 4.25[P=0.71]）。两组患者在 POD1（P=0.92）、POD2（P=0.51）和 POD3（P=0.36）的最大疼痛强度也相似。PCIA 组患者使用的阿片类药物明显更多（P=0.001），但副作用无明显增加。
与口服镇痛药相比，PCIA 并未提供更好的疼痛控制。鉴于需要付出大量努力和消耗大量阿片类药物，因此不能将其推荐作为 TE 后疼痛控制的标准化应用。
