Özet
Fentanyl was administered by patient controlled analgesia (PCA) via epidural or intravenous route for postoperative pain relief 40 patients who undergowent total hysterectomy. Pain and sedation scores, hourly average and cumulative doses of fentanyl, incidence of side effects and vital functions were followed for 24 hours. VAS scores were lower at 2nd and 12th hours and VRS scores at 12th hours in epidural group. No difference was found between groups with respect to sedation and no patient had oversedation. Hourly average and cumulative doses of fentanyl after the 4th hour were higher in IV group. No patient had respiratory depression and significant hemodynamic alterations. Patients in both groups declared that they were satisfied with the applied technique. Although total opioid consumption was less in epidural group, we conclude that epidural and intravenous fentanyl administered by PCA provided a comparable, safe and efficient analgesia.
