Dr. Allana Munro and Dr. Ronald George are two obstetric anesthesia experts whose research is focused on labor analgesia. Two years ago, they demonstrated that “achieving desired pain relief” is of utmost importance to our patients. The question remains: How can we safely achieve this while minimizing workload and side effects? In this episode, they discuss their study titled “An Innovative Approach to Determine Programmed Intermittent Epidural Bolus Pump Settings for Labor Analgesia: A Randomized Controlled Trial.” Using the response surface methodology, they identified optimal settings for the programmed intermittent epidural bolus pump (PIEB) that maximize maternal satisfaction, minimize clinician-administered boluses, and balance PCEA boluses delivered to those requested.
