Dilaudid PCA (Patient-Controlled Analgesia) typically involves preparing a solution of hydromorphone (Dilaudid) that is diluted to the appropriate concentration for intravenous administration. The medication is mixed in a sterile environment, usually by a pharmacist or qualified healthcare professional, following specific protocols and guidelines. The PCA device is then programmed to allow the patient to self-administer doses within prescribed limits to manage pain effectively. Always ensure to follow institutional policies and safety procedures when preparing and administering PCA medications.
