PCA (patient controlled analgesia) chart - adult The PCA prescription and observation chart for adult patients has been developed by a team of experts in the field of acute pain including clinical nurse consultants, anaesthetists and pharmacy representatives. This PCA chart is not suitable for use in paediatric patients. Standardisation of this chart promotes best practice in prescribing, pain assessment and management of adverse effects in those patients receiving an opioid via PCA. 2

Aim of this presentation: This presentation aims to explain ¡ how to use the chart for prescribing a PCA ¡ how to record the administration and discard of drugs used for PCA ¡ how to complete the clinical observations ¡ guidelines on the management of patients receiving PCA including the management of adverse effects 3
