Phase 4 Study of Postoperative Pain Therapy With Hydromorphone Using Patient-Controlled Target-Controlled Infusion (TCI-PCA) vs. Patient-Controlled Analgesia (PCA) After Elective Cardiac Surgery
In Brief
A Phase 4 clinical trial evaluating Hydromorphone for Postoperative Pain. Completed, enrolled 50 participants across 2 sites.
Detailed Summary
Treatment of postoperative pain with hydromorphone (a strong analgesic) using patient-controlled analgesia with target concentrations in blood compared to conventional patient-controlled analgesia after planed cardiac surgery
Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
Hydromorphone is given by PCA or TCI-PCA. The TCI-PCA System steer the hydromorphone infusion pump to achieve plasma concentrations of hydromorphone in predefined increasing steps on patient request and in predefined decreasing steps on lack of patient request within predefined plasma concentration range, lock times and infusion speed.
