Remifentanil Disposable PCA Infusion Pump
PCA Features
Remifentanil Patient Controlled Analgesia (PCA)0.5ml FDI – 2ml
Remifentanil PCA offers a flexible and effective option for pain management, particularly for those who are unable to receive traditional methods, like epidurals. With proper monitoring and administration, it can significantly enhance patient comfort and control during labour. Remifentanil is a potent, short-acting opioid analgesic with a much quicker onset and shorter duration of action.
Benefits of Remifentanil PCA
-
Control: Patients can administer the medication as needed, providing a sense of control over their pain management.
-
Quick Relief: The effects of remifentanil are felt almost immediately, making it effective for managing acute pain.
-
Short Duration: The medication wears off quickly, reducing the risk of side effects
