A member asked:
The whipple ire procedure: will i be given a choice between an epidural (pcea) or having a pca at the anesthesiologist's pre-surgical consultation?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Anasthesia : the post op PCA is normally (if ordered) a decision made by your surgeon. Talk to the surgeon about the PCA. The epidural is a talk between you and the anesthesiologist pre-op.
