A more stable plane of analgesia with less incidence of break-through pain (which can be difficult to treat); 2. A lower drug dosage delivered at any given time, resulting in a lower incidence of dose-related side effects; 3. Greater control over drug administration (easy to change the dose); 4. Decreased need for stimulation of resting patients to administer drugs; 5. Decreased cost (when compared to technician time, needles, and syringes required for repeat injections)., Constant Rate Infusion sites of action (hover over concept) Somatic, Constant Rate Infusion formula main formula
