Patient Controlled Analgesia (PCA) Pump
Is a Syringe driver that allows the patient, within defined limits, to control their own drug delivery. They employ a patient hand control, which when pressed, delivers a pre-set bolus of analgesic drug. Immediately after delivery the pump will refuse to deliver another bolus until a pre-set time has passed. The pre-set bolus size and lockout time, along with background (constant drug infusion) are pre-programmed by the clinician.
