Scientific title
Study objectivesThe aim of our study is to determine the efficacy of PCA in vaso-occlusive crisis in patients with SCD. We will compare the effect of PCA versus standard CI morphine on cumulative morphine dose, mean daily dose and cumulative side-effects of morphine in a prospective randomised trial. In addition, quality of life and the effect on the duration of treatment and hospitalisation will be determined.
