title: Patient controlled analgesia in pediatrics.
abstract: Patient controlled analgesia is a new, upcoming method of managing pain in the pediatric population. Introducing it to the nursing division of a children's hospital requires that the nursing staff development educator assess, plan, implement, and evaluate its method of introduction and use. The educator must involve multidisciplinary team members to facilitate this change.
