Brief summary
More than 230 million surgical operations are been realized all over the world every year. A surgical intervention can cause postoperative acute pain. The management of postoperative acute pain is multimodal and the use of patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) is often a part of this Pain-Management. Intravenous PCA has established itself as a therapeutic concept and constitutes the reference treatment for the management of postoperative acute pain for the first 48 hours. The PCA offers patients autonomy in managing their pain with the intravenous delivery of morphine on demand. Since 2017 PCA Zalviso is marketed. It allows the sublingual administration of sufentanil and it does not require venous access. It seems interesting to allow the early rehabilitation of patients who are no longer limited in their movements by an infusion. However, its acquisition cost appears to be higher than that of the intravenous PCA. In order to verify this hypothesis, the investigators propose to compare the set of costs associated with the use of sublingual PCA with those of intravenous PCA in the management of acute postoperative pain (less than 72 hours) in the context of patients benefiting from the placement of a total knee arthroplasty.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Costs of each Intravenous Patient Controlled Analgesia (PCA) | until 72 hours after knee arthroplasty | Comparison of costs associated with the use of sublingual PCA to those of intravenous PCA |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Length of hospitalization | until 72 hours after knee arthroplasty | Length of hospitalization |
| Efficiency of acute postoperative pain management | until 72 hours after knee arthroplasty | Pain intensity is measured with numeric score (scale 0 to 10) (10 is the highest pain intensity; 0 is the score for the absence of pain). |
| Global satisfaction of the patient | until 72 hours after knee arthroplasty | Global satisfaction of the patient is measured with Echelle Visuelle Analogique EVA score (scale 0 to 10; score 0= no pain; score 10 = pain with the highest intensity) |
