Abstract:

A patient controlled analgesia system for pediatric patients includes an infusion pump and a hand control having a depressible trigger. The hand control is operably connected to the infusion pump for selectively dosing a medication to be dispensed by the infusion pump. A patient interface object comprises a stuffed toy defining a rear opening and an internal void therein. A retainer is affixed within the internal void, and securely receives the hand control. An actuator is affixed within the internal void proximate to an outer surface of the stuffed toy and also proximate to the depressible trigger. The actuator is biased away from the depressible trigger and selectively movable to engage and disengage the depressible trigger by pressing an exterior of the stuffed toy.
