Postoperative epidural analgesia with bupivacaine and fentanyl: hourly pain assessment in 348 paediatric cases

Background: The objective of this prospective study was the evaluation of the analgesia provided by an epidural infusion of bupivacaine and fentanyl after different types of surgery in children.
