Summary
There has been very little investigation into the management of pain from 2nd trimester
termination of pregnancy or unexpected fetal loss. The standard of practice in North America
is usually intravenous patient controlled analgesia (IV PCA), using a narcotic wuch as
fentanyl. The goal of this study is to compare the quality of recovery after termination of
pregnancy using fentanyl IV PCA or patient controlled epidural analgesia (PCEA), a standard
of care for live births. The study will be conducted as a randomized controlled trial.
