Continuous subcutaneous pethidine for routine postoperative analgesia.

We consider that the present state of postoperative analgesia is unsatisfactory because drugs are given intermittently and usually only at the patients' request and with nurses' acquiescence. A procedure for routine continuous pethidine infusion, suitable for administration and control by the nursing staff is described. The results of a trial on patients after major surgery are summarised. We believe the procedure to be more efficient and effective than those presently in use.
