The use of suppositories has been examined following a recent case in which an anaesthetist was reported to the United Kingdom General Medical Council. This study examined the preference for routes of administration of post-operative analgesia. A semistructured interview with a written questionnaire was administered to 610 subjects (49 doctors; 62 nurses; 67 paramedical staff; 44 other hospital employees; 388 patients). Four hundred and fifty (74%) preferred the intravenous (i.v.) route, 24 (4%) preferred a suppository while 136 (22%) found either route acceptable. The i.v. route was most popular with young (98% under 20 years) females (79%) social class I subjects (90%), doctors (96%), nurses (95%), those who had never had a suppository (81%) and those who had ill effects following a previous suppository (95%). This result suggests that patients are more tolerant of suppositories than hospital staff but the majority prefer the i.v. route.
在最近一起麻醉师被上报至英国医学总会的事件后，栓剂的使用情况得到了调查。本研究考察了术后镇痛给药途径的偏好。对610名受试者（49名医生、62名护士、67名医护辅助人员、44名其他医院员工、388名患者）进行了一项带有书面问卷的半结构化访谈。450人（74%）偏好静脉注射途径，24人（4%）偏好栓剂，136人（22%）认为两种途径均可接受。静脉注射途径在年轻（20岁以下占98%）女性（79%）、社会阶层I的受试者（90%）、医生（96%）、护士（95%）、从未使用过栓剂的人（81%）以及之前使用栓剂后出现不良反应的人（95%）中最受欢迎。这一结果表明，患者比医院工作人员对栓剂的耐受性更高，但大多数人还是更喜欢静脉注射途径。
