Effective postoperative pain management can make a major contribution to the recovery process following surgery. In many cases, however, its practical implementation breaks down in the face of clinical, day to day routine: shortage of personnel, lack of time, problems with organization, or simply costs, are factors that are frequently mentioned by way of explanation. The concept, now widely accepted everywhere, of patient-controlled analgesie (PCA) has brought about a decisive breakthrough in the management of postoperative pain. Between June 1992 and December 1994, at the University hospital in Regensburg, a total of 1,420 paients in general wards were pain-managed for a total of 7,500 days, using PCA, and good results with minimal complications were obtained. To ensure the safety of the patient a tight organization, unambiguous assignment of tasks and responsibilities, and regular intensive training of both medical and nursing staff are necessary.
