Abstract：Objective:To compare the postoperative analgesic effect of patient - controlled epidural analgesia(PCEA)with patient -controlled intravenous analgesia(PCIA)in thoracic surgery and nursing methods. Methods:126 patients undergoing thoracic surgery were randomly divided into PCEA group(n = 65)and PCIA group(n = 61). The postoperative VAS score,the number of pressing button by pa-tients themselves and the occurrence of adverse reactions within 72 hours after operation were compared between the two groups. Results:The postoperative VAS score was lower in PCEA group than that in PCIA group(P < 0. 05);the number of pressing button by the patients was fewer in PCEA group than PCIA group within 12 hours,12 to 24 hours and 24 to 36 hours after operation(P < 0. 05);the occurrence of lethargy,headache,nausea,vomiting and respiratory depression within 72 hours after operation was less in PCEA group than PCIA group (P < 0. 05). Conclusion:The postoperative analgesic effect and safety of PCEA is better than that of PCIA in thoracic surgery.
