Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) is any method of allowing a person in pain to administer their own pain relief. For safety and liability reasons the pump cannot deliver an overdose of medication.The most common form of patient-controlled analgesia is self-administration of over-the-counter or prescription painkillers at home. For example, if a headache does not resolve with a small dose of an analgesic, more may be taken up to a maximum dose. As pain is a combination of tissue damage and emotional state, being in control means reducing the emotional component of pain.
