Brief summary (from the registry)
Adequate pain therapy is important aspect of perioperative care. Sequelae of inadequate pain management are patient dissatisfaction, post-operative nausea and vomiting (PONV), inadequate nutrition, lack of mobilization, and an increased risk for the development of further complications, such as postoperative delirium (POD). The use of patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) systems, which allow patients to self-administer analgesics, has improved pain management. Conventional i.v. PCA and the non-invasive administration of sufentanil sublingual tablets (ZALVISO®) are available. The aim of this investigation is to study patient controlled analgesia systems and to examine the incidence of POD, POCD and postoperative pain.
