Patient-controlled analgesia: 1.
Make 500mg (10 mL) tramadol up to 50mL with NaCl 0.9% in a PCA
syringe to give a solution containing 10 mg/mL. 2.
The solution should be clear and colourless. Inspect visually
for particulate matter or discoloration prior to administration and discard
if present. 3.
The usual setting for the PCA device is to deliver a 5-mg
bolus with a 5-minute lock-out period. Lower doses are used in patients with
renal failure Strength used may vary
depending on local policies. Continuous
or intermittent intravenous infusion 1.
Withdraw the required dose and add to a suitable volume of
compatible infusion fluid (usually NaCl 0.9% or Gluc 5%). 2.
The solution should be clear and colourless. Inspect visually
for particulate matter or discoloration prior to administration and discard
if present. 3.
Give by continuous or intermittent IV infusion at a suitable
rate via a volumetric infusion device. 4.
Close monitoring of respiratory rate and consciousness is
recommended for 30 minutes in patients receiving an initial dose, especially
elderly patients or those of low bodyweight. Stability after
preparation: From a microbiological
point of view, should be used immediately; however, prepared infusions may be
stored at 2-8°C and infused (at room temperature) within 24 hours. |

IV
injection/Infusion via Alaris® Infusion Pump: (for severe pain if oral
medications are not suitable eg/ post-operatively). · Preferably give as a IV
infusion to reduce nausea: · Dilute 50-100mg dose with
50-100mL of compatible solution and infuse over 30 -60 mins · IV Infusion may be given
faster (over 15mins) but is likely to cause nausea Loading dose of 100 mg -
usually given during surgery, followed by 50 to 100 mg every 4 to 6 hours. · If necessary give as a
bolus IV injection over 3-5minutes (nausea, vomiting and dizziness more
common with injection) · Compatible Solutions:
glucose 5%, sodium chloride 0.9%, Hartmann’s, Ringers. |
