Outpatient spinal opiate analgesia: a case report
J La State Med Soc.
1993 Oct.
Abstract
Outpatient spinal opiate analgesia for relief of cancer pain has been well-described in the literature. We report a case of a patient with metastatic disease who received epidural morphine using a subcutaneous epidural catheter via home injections. The patient and his family administered the medications. There are several options to choose from when using epidural morphine, and each patient's needs must be evaluated for the appropriate system.
