How Post surgical pains are treated?

Patient himself regulates the administration of analgesic using a small handheld pump and programmer, directly delivers drug into the bloodstream.

 

  1. Patient controlled Epidural analgesia -

Same like iv-PCA, but a small epidural catheter is used, which stays under the skin of your back. Less irritable than a constant intravenous channel. It's also proven to be more efficient and safer.

 

  1. Nerve blocks-

It is used both as post operational pain management and a method of surgical anesthesia. A anaesthetic drug is introduced directly into the nerve fibres/ ganglion via injection or continuously using PCA handheld controllers. Blocking the pain conduction pathway itself, it is the most efficient process. Less drug needed, so most safe too.
