Abstract: BACKGROUND Scientific evidence shows that programmed intermittent epidural bolus (PIEB) for labour analgesia achieves good obstetric outcomes. After implementing our institutional standard for epidural analgesia, we compared PIEB + patient-controlled epidural analgesia (PCEA) versus continuous… read more here.
