Children as young as 5 years old have effectively used PCA therapy.Further data are needed to evaluate the use of PCA therapy in children younger than 5 years of age.Two RNs are needed to check the amount of opioid being administered.Once the opioid infusion is hung and programmed,a second RN must double-check the process.Children receiving PCA therapy should be monitored closely to ensure effective pain control and for signs or symptoms of overmedication.Initially,vital signs should be monitored every 15 to 30 minutes and then every 2 to 4 hours.Respiratory rate should be assessed every hour.Narcan should be readily available to reverse opioid overmedication exhibited by respiratory distress.
