Implementation of Programmed Intermittent Epidural Bolus for the Maintenance of Labor Analgesia

(Abstracted from Anesth Analg, 123(4):965–971, 2016) Patients can still experience breakthrough pain under patient-controlled epidural analgesia (PCEA) with continuous epidural infusion (CEI). An alternative to PCEA with or without CEI is programmed intermittent epidural bolus (PIEB) of epidural analgesia.
