When the nurse has just completed programming of a patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) pump using prescribed parameters, the nurse should verify the settings with other nurse.
PCA pump is a computerized IV pump used to relieve pain from the hand. These are usually used after surgery to release the pain. The action is performed by pressing a hand-held button.
These pumps contain pain relievers that can be administered even without the need of a nurse according to the intensity of the pain. The pain reliever given is either morphine or opioid. Checking the vitals and oxygen levels is very crucial during PCA pump. It is also important that the patient understands the usage and requirements of the pump.
