However, analgesia may still remain a challenge, especially in patients with large incision abdominal incisions.To address this problem, the use of the PIEB (Programmed intermittent epidural bolus) mode has been proposed, because it offers a better spread of the epidural medication.Only a few studies have evaluated the superiority of…
