Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

TCI-PCA

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Hydromorphone

Intervention Type DRUG

Hydromorphone is given intravenously by TCI-PCA. The TCI-PCA system steer the hydromorphone infusion pump to achieve plasma and effect-site concentrations of hydromorphone in predefined increasing steps on patient request and in predefined decreasing steps on lack of patient request within predefined plasma and effect-site concentration range, lockout times and infusion speed.

PCA

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Morphine

Intervention Type DRUG

Morphine is given intravenously by PCA. The PCA pump administers a predefined bolus dose on patient request considering the predefined lockout time and infusion speed.

Hydromorphone

Hydromorphone is given intravenously by TCI-PCA. The TCI-PCA system steer the hydromorphone infusion pump to achieve plasma and effect-site concentrations of hydromorphone in predefined increasing steps on patient request and in predefined decreasing steps on lack of patient request within predefined plasma and effect-site concentration range, lockout times and infusion speed.

Intervention Type DRUG

Morphine

Morphine is given intravenously by PCA. The PCA pump administers a predefined bolus dose on patient request considering the predefined lockout time and infusion speed.
