Programmed Intermittent Epidural Bolus (PIEB)
A commercial pump that can be programmed to administer intermittent boluses and patient controlled boluses does not exist. Two pumps were prepared for each subject with the same epidural solution. One pump was programmed to administer the programmed intermittent epidural bolus(PIEB). The second pump was programmed to administer patient controlled epidural analgesia (PCEA)with a dose of 5 mL delivered with a lockout of every 10 minutes.
