Sufentanil Sublingual Tablet System vs. Intravenous Patient-Controlled Analgesia with Morphine: Postoperative Pain Control and Its Impact in Quality of Recovery.

ABSTRACT:

Context

Patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) is commonly used for postoperative pain control. Although widely used, intravenous (IV) morphine PCA may not be suitable for all patients. Sufentanil sublingual tablet system (SSTS) PCA is a recent technique that has had success as a safe and effective alternative for acute pain management.

Aims

Settings and design

Open-label, parallel-group, randomized controlled trial with 54 patients. The primary outcome was postoperative pain control, while the secondary outcomes included adverse effects associated wit
