Häusliche Behandlung von Tumorschmerzpatienten mit patientenkontrollierter Analgesie (PCA)

Abstract

In cases of cancer pain patients with failed oral or transcutaneous opioid medication, sufficient pain reduction can be achieved with parenteral drug administration by PCA. Domestic PCA requires a lot of human and financial resources, with trained nursing services and regular house visits by physicians experienced in palliative medicine but this method is sufficient and safe to use.
