Quality of recovery (QoR-15) after patient-controlled sedation during venous port implantation: A prespecified substudy of the PACSPI-2 randomised clinical trial
By Seifert S, Nilsson A, Azman J and 4 others.
Abstract
Background
Postoperative recovery after subcutaneous venous port implantation is generally considered uncomplicated; however, patient-reported recovery outcomes in patients with cancer remain poorly characterized. The impact of patient-controlled sedation (PCS) on postoperative recovery has not been established.
