About this study

Official title: Does the Use of Intravenous Patient Controlled Analgesia (IVPCA) Increase Opioid Consumption and Side Effects in Fast Track Orthopedic Procedures?

The study aims to compare the use of intravenous patient controlled analgesia (IVPCA) versus the delivery of pain relief (per oral and intravenous (IV) medications as rescues analgesia) on an as needed basis within a well defined fast track protocol that includes multimodal analgesia for patients who are undergoing elective primary knee replacement surgery. The investigators assumed that with the multimodal analgesia regimen without the use of IVPCA will demonstrate decreased consumption of postoperative opioids, reduced incidence of opioids related side effects and decreased length of stay in the hospital.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Morphine as IVPCADrug

    Also called Morphine

    Morphine as IVPCA: Patients will be given a patient controlled analgesia (PCA) pump containing a standard solution of morphine as below:

    Morphine bolus 1mg with a lockout interval of 5 minutes, no background infusion and maximum 30 mg in 4 hours

  • Hydromorphone as IVPCADrug

    Also called Dilaudid

    Hydromorphone as IVPCA: Patients will be given a patient controlled analgesia (PCA) pump containing a standard solution of Hydromorphone as below:

    Hydromorphone bolus 0.2 mg with a lockout interval of 5 minutes and a maximum dose of 6 mg in 4 hours.

  • MorphineDrug

    IV opioids: Morphine 2 to 5 mg every 1h PRN (max. 20 mg/4h)

  • HydromorphoneDrug

    Also called Dilaudid

    Hydromorphone 0.5 - 1 mg every 1h PRN (max. 4 mg/4h)

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Total amount of opioid consumption postoperatively

    Measured: Every 24 hours for up to 48 hours after randomization

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Opioid related side effects.

    Opioid-related Symptom Distress Scale Questionnaire

    Measured: Every 24 hours for up to 48 hours after randomization

  2. Patient satisfaction

    Patient satisfaction scale as below:

    1. Very dissatisfied
    2. Dissatisfied
    3. Slightly dissatisfied
    4. Slightly satisfied
    5. Satisfied
    6. Very satisfied

    Measured: Once at 48 hours after randomization

  3. Pain scores measured at rest and movement

    Based on verbal analogue scale (VAS) scoring system (0-10), where score of 0 refers to no pain and a score of 10 refers to the worst pain imaginable

    Measured: Every 12 hours for up to 48 hours after randomization

  4. Length of stay in hospital

    The total number of days the study patient was admitted in the hospital for a medical reason

    Measured: One week

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Morphine as IVPCA, Hydromorphone as IVPCA and Morphine in people with Pain, Postoperative, run by Mount Sinai Hospital, Canada at 1 site in Canada.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 5 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 26 Aug 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Canada. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Each site lists its own contact: choose the nearest one under Trial locations. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Total amount of opioid consumption postoperatively (time frame: Every 24 hours for up to 48 hours after randomization). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 26 Aug 2016.
