Abstract

Dyspnoea is a debilitating symptom in medicine, especially in palliative care. Opioids are the pharmacological agents of choice in the treatment of dyspnoea in palliative medicine. Morphine is the best-studied opioid, and recent literature on oxycodone is encouraging. In refractory cases, opioid infusion and palliative sedation may have to be used. We present a case that used oxycodone in a patient-controlled device specifically for dyspnoea and its effects in relieving dyspnoea in a fast and timely manner. This helped in meeting the demands of the patient and relieving suffering rapidly with less sedation. This case report is unique in the use of an oxycodone patient-controlled device specifically for dyspnoea.
晚期癌症患者呼吸困难时的静脉注射羟考酮患者控制疗法:病例报告
在医学领域,尤其是在姑息治疗领域,呼吸困难是一种使人衰弱的症状。阿片类药物是姑息治疗中治疗呼吸困难的首选药物。吗啡是研究得最透彻的阿片类药物,最近关于羟考酮的文献也令人鼓舞。在难治性病例中,可能必须使用阿片类药物输注和姑息镇静。我们介绍了一个病例,该病例在患者自控设备中使用了专门针对呼吸困难的羟考酮,并介绍了其在快速、及时缓解呼吸困难方面的效果。这有助于满足患者的需求,并在减少镇静剂的情况下迅速缓解痛苦。本病例报告在使用专门用于呼吸困难的羟考酮患者控制装置方面是独一无二的。
