Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: For effective patient-controlled epidural analgesia (PCEA) without many systemic effects after major intra-abdominal surgeries, optimal analgesic solution, background infusion rates, and settings need to be determined. The primary aim was to compare the efficacy of PCEA versus physician-controlled epidural analgesia (PhCEA) in terms of pain relief after major intra-abdominal surgeries. The secondary aim was, to establish an acceptable PCEA regime, to compare the vitals, amount of drug used, acute pain service (APS) interventions, rescue analgesics, and side effects.
