Randomized controlled trial examines programmed epidural bolus delivery speeds during labor, highlighting ways to manage maternal sensory block levels after dural puncture.
( Eur J Anaesthesiol . 2025 Sep 1;42(9):783–790. doi: 10.1097/EJA.0000000000002214) Dural puncture epidural block (DPE) with programmed intermittent epidural bolus (PIEB) delivery is very effective for pain during labor, and it comes with a risk of having a high block level. This randomized controlled study examines the outcomes of various pump speeds for a PIEB on maternal sensory block following DPE.
