Article Synopsis
- Pediatric pain management practices have evolved significantly over 22 years, with a focus on patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) and nurse-controlled analgesia (NCA).
- Data from a single pediatric hospital showed an initial surge in PCA/NCA orders from 1994 to 2006, followed by a notable decline after 2007, despite increased surgeries and hospital admissions.
- The study reported a very low overall rate of adverse events (AEs), but emphasized the need for improvements to prevent any errors, especially with high-risk medications like opioids.
