Computer integrated patient controlled epidural analgesia (CIPCEA) is a novel epidural analgesic delivery system that is currently used in daily practice in KK Women's and Children's Hospital. It has enabled us to monitor the infusion pumps through wireless connection to a central monitoring system and hence, collect pump utilisation data electronically. The CIPCEA system is programmed to analyse the LA usage across the last hour and adjust the background infusion rate according to a preset algorithm.
