Epidural administration of opiates as a long-term treatment of cancer pain, even for out-patients, is now well established. Most reports describe intermittent injections given several times a day, which may have technical and personal disadvantages. Continuous epidural infusion may be preferable. This report describes 16 patients who were treated with epidural opiates delivered by plastic infusion pumps. Pain relief was effective, the equipment was inexpensive and home treatment was easily accomplished.
硬膜外给予阿片类药物作为癌症疼痛的长期治疗方法，即使对于门诊患者而言，如今也已得到充分认可。大多数报告描述的是一天多次进行的间歇性注射，这种方法可能存在技术和个人方面的缺点。持续硬膜外输注可能更为可取。本报告描述了16例使用塑料输液泵进行硬膜外给予阿片类药物治疗的患者。疼痛缓解效果显著，设备价格低廉，且家庭治疗易于实施。
