• Reduced Pain Scores With Movement
• Earlier Return Of Bowel Function
• Reduced Pulmonary Complications
• Shorter ICU Stay
• Shorter Hospital Stay

LIMITATIONS OF EPIDURAL ANALGESIA FOR ACUTE PAIN RELIEF
Requires hemodynamic stability
Side effects will occur
Pain is not necessarily eliminated
Non-surgical pain must be assessed
It is not without risk
