Brief Summary: Patient Centered Care PCC is an approach that consciously adopts the patients perspectiveabout what matters Gerteis Edgeman Levitan Walker Stokes Cleary Delbanco 1993 Experiencing pain is the most common concern of patients before surgery - even ahead of whether the surgery would improve their condition Apfelbaum 2003 Current standard of practice for post-operative pain management in most acute care hospitals today is intravenous patient controlled analgesia IV PCA However despite the fact that patients prefer IV PCA because it affords them greater control and provides them with better pain relief Ballantyne Carr deFerranti Suarez Lau Chalmers Angelillo Mosteller 1998 Rawal 2001 hospitals routinely take control of pain medications away from patients once they are switched to pain tablets Patients must then wait in pain for their nurse to bring them pain tablets

Patient controlled oral analgesia PCOA has been utilitzed in several centers in the US and Germany Preliminary evidence from the literature seems to indicate that the benefits of PCOA are similar to IV PCA including increased patient satisfaction and better pain control Striebel Romer Kopf Schwagmeier 1996 Striebel Scheitza Philippi Behrens Toussaint 1998 At the Toronto Western Hospital University Health Network we have successfully implemented a PCOA program on two surgical units OrthopedicsRheumatology and Spinal The purpose of this study is to compare usual nurse administered oral analgesia to PCOA with respect to pain patient satisfaction and passive range of knee motion in postoperative total knee replacement patients
