Two incidence have occurred in our hospital when a patient-controlled analgesia pump has accidentally delivered the whole contents of the syringe of diamorphine (60 mg) over a period of approximately 1 h. Electrical corruption of the pumps' program has been identified as the probable cause. All pumps of this type have been modified to prevent such occurrences.

Introducing patient-controlled analgesia for postoperative pain control into a district general hospital.
Patient-controlled analgesia was introduced in a district general hospital in order to improve postoperative pain control. Techniques of management were developed with effectiveness, safety and practicality as the main objectives. An analysis of the first 1000 patients to use the system is presented. Problems were encountered with slow respiratory rate, monitoring, equipment function and ward management. Identification of specific hazards and management problems led to improvements in system safety. Patient-controlled analgesia has become the standard technique for postoperative pain control after major surgery in this hospital.
