The difference between an intravenous analgesic pump and an epidural analgesic pump

Mar 24, 2022

The pain relief pump is the same device, but the formula of the medicine in it is different.

The epidural catheter is placed in the spinal canal and must be inserted on the back. This does not affect the patient lying down. Epidural anesthesia only requires the patient to lie on their side and arch their back during the puncture, and can take any position after the catheter is placed.

The epidural catheter is fixed on the back with tape, so it is easy to fall off when the patient is moving, and the management of the anesthesiology department is also troublesome, so it is more inclined to use an intravenous pump, which is the advantage of the intravenous pump. The difference between the two can be understood as the epidural is a local drug, and the intravenous is a systemic drug, so the epidural pump can achieve a good analgesic effect with only a few drugs.
