The amount of morphine consumed by patients using patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) was compared with the amount of morphine routinely prescribed to patients as an i.v. infusion. The first group consisted of eight patients with a mean burn severity area (TBSA; %) of 32.71% who were able to actively participate in their pain management with PCA. The second group consisted of eight patients comparable by gender, age, and weight; their mean TBSA was 31.85%. There were no statistically significant differences between the groups. The Chorobopis software and the patient documentation archive helped to make the patients from both cohorts as similar as possible. At the time when patients from the first cohort used PCA, the amount of opioids consumed by them was monitored and recorded. The amount of opioids consumed by the...

Epidemiology (epidemiologic research) of burn injuries in geriatric patients
Jančušková, Eva ; Tokarik, Monika (advisor)
According to the demografic researches, the population is getting older. The death is caused not only by cardiovascular or tumorous diseases, but it include external fault as well. The seniors are more endangered. On the one side there are more possibilities to injure themselves, on the other they have more chronic diseases, that may influenced the progress of therapy.
