Comparative Study Clinical Trial Controlled Clinical Trial
[Hormonal response and two special techniques of postoperative analgesia in pediatric surgery].
We studied neuroendocrine response in the postoperative pain relief in pediatric patients treated with two analgesic techniques (conventional intravenous analgesia and patient controlled analgesia). ⋯ Both analgesic techniques were appropriate to postoperative pain relief in pediatric patients. Low pain score shows better conditions to attend these patients. We suggest PCA technique is better to treat postoperative stress response following pediatric surgery.
