Abstract
<p class="first" id="d3017512e71">Automated mandatory boluses (AMB), when used in
place of a continuous basal infusion,
have been shown to reduce overall local anesthetic consumption without compromising
analgesic efficacy in patient-controlled epidural analgesia (PCEA). We hypothesized
that our PCEA+AMB regimen could result in a reduction of breakthrough pain requiring
epidural supplementation in comparison with PCEA with a basal infusion (PCEA+BI).
