Administration of intrathecal analgesia needs a good resource setting and expertise. Early complications of intrathecal analgesia can be very distressing and managing these complications will need a high degree of knowledge, technical expertise and level of experience. Pain control alone cannot be the marker of quality in palliative care. A holistic approach may need to be employed that is more person and family oriented.enCopyright status unknownEarly complicationsIntrathecal analgesiaQuality of lifeJournal article002009784410.4103/0973-1075.631342-s2.0-7795266197334130Crawford, G.
