“Ultra-light” patient-controlled epidural analgesia during labor: effects of varying regimens on analgesia and physician workload

“Ultra-light” patient-controlled epidural analgesia during labor: effects of varying regimens on analgesia and physician workload

Patient-controlled epidural analgesia (PCEA) offers many advantages over continuous epidural infusions for maintenance of labor analgesia. Some of these benefits may depend on the PCEA settings. This study evaluated several regimens for “ultra-light” (0.125%) PCEA with basal continuous infusion (CI)...

Zusammenfassung:Patient-controlled epidural analgesia (PCEA) offers many advantages over continuous epidural infusions for maintenance of labor analgesia. Some of these benefits may depend on the PCEA settings. This study evaluated several regimens for “ultra-light” (0.125%) PCEA with basal continuous infusion (CI) in labor with goals of minimizing physician interventions while providing good analgesia. Two hundred and twenty ASA I-II women receiving epidural analgesia during active labor (cervical dilation
