Randomized Controlled TrialProgrammed intermittent epidural bolus for post-cesarean delivery analgesia: a randomized controlled double-blind trial.
The aim of this study was to assess the efficacy of programmed intermittent epidural boluses (PIEB) in postoperative pain management compared with continuous epidural infusion (CEI) after cesarean delivery. ⋯ Postoperative epidural analgesia for patients who underwent cesarean delivery with PIEB compared with CEI resulted in less ropivacaine usage while providing comparable analgesia.

Randomized Controlled TrialProgrammed intermittent epidural bolus decreases the incidence of intra-partum fever for labor analgesia in primiparous women: a randomized controlled study.
To evaluate whether programmed intermittent epidural bolus (PIEB) reduces the incidence of maternal intra-partum fever compared with continuous epidural infusion (CEI) during labor. ⋯ PIEB with 10 ml of 0.08% ropivacaine and 0.4 μg/ml sufentanil hourly provided a lower incidence of intra-partum fever with a better analgesic effect compared with CEI, without any severe maternal and neonatal adverse reactions.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative StudyProgrammed intermittent epidural bolus (PIEB) as compared to continuous epidural infusion (CEI) for the maintenance of labor analgesia: A prospective randomized single blinded controlled trial.
Programmed intermittent epidural bolus (PIEB) techniques are a new area of interest for maintaining labor analgesia due to the potential to decrease motor block and improve labor analgesia. This study compares continuous epidural infusion (CEI) to 2 PIEB regimens for labor analgesia. ⋯ Our study suggests that high volume PIEB regimens for labor analgesia decrease breakthrough pain and physician-administered boluses.
