Paper Summary:

The paper discusses an article entitled "Patient-Controlled Transdermal Fentanyl Hydrochloride vs Intravenous Morphine Pump for Postoperative Pain: A Randomized Controlled Trial," where Viscusi et al. report on a study conducted in North American hospitals between September 2000 and March 2001. The objective of this study was to ascertain whether problems with existing patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) for postoperative surgery patients could be overcome by switching to an alternative method and drug.

From the Paper:

"Instead of using morphine analgesics infused via an IV line, the proposed alternative therapy would utilize fentanyl hydrochloride, administered transdermally via a patient-controlled low-intensity direct current that would move the fentanyl from a hydrogel reservoir in a patch, into the skin."
