PCA pump

A PCA (Patient-Controlled Analgesia) pump is a device that allows patients to manage their pain by delivering small doses of pain medication, usually through a button they press. It is programmed by healthcare providers to prevent overdose, ensuring safe pain relief. The device responds only to the patient's requests within preset limits, giving patients a sense of control and potentially improving comfort after surgery or injury. PCA pumps are commonly used for post-operative pain management and are designed to provide effective, tailored pain relief while minimizing risks.
