Timeline
Interventions
We have used a disposable PCA pump (Ambix Anaplus®; E-Wha Fresenius Kabi, Korea or accufuser plus®; Woo Young Medical, Korea) and fentanyl was diluted in 100 mL with saline for 48 hrs PCA infusion. The pump was set as follows: infusion rate as 2 ml/hr, bolus dose as 0.5 ml or 1 ml, lockout time as 15 min. It was decided at the anesthesiologist's option whether the additional analgesic drug (ketorolac or nefopam) and the antiemetic drug (ondansetron, ramosetron or palonosetron) would be added in PCA or not. The anesthesiologist who performed the anesthesia decided the amount of chosen drugs.
