Does painless have side effects

Painless needle "also known as" epidural anesthesia ", is a method of labor analgesia, it is not a needle problem, is a technique.

It refers to the back of the puerpera with an epidural puncture needle under local anesthesia puncture, drugs through the lumbar anesthesia needle into the subarachnoid space, the back left an epidural catheter, connected to a controlled electronic pump, when the puerpera feel pain by pressing a button, drugs will be automatically injected into the epidural space, play a role in analgesia.

It can greatly reduce the pain of the mother, but it is difficult to make it completely painless, because a natural birth requires strong contractions.

Although epidural anesthesia is good for pain relief, there are some risks for expectant mothers.

When an anesthetic injection is made, the general anesthesiologist does the piercing by feeling. A small number will mistakenly penetrate the dural and arachnoid membranes. That's when the cerebrospinal fluid drains out, causing changes in cranial pressure. There is also a risk of infection.

If there is cerebrospinal fluid outflow, maternal to pillow supine for 72 hours, and every day to fully intravenous infusion. If you raise your head too early, it can cause headaches.

A very small amount of anesthetics in a painless delivery crosses the placenta and reaches the baby's bloodstream. It doesn't really have much of an effect.

Because with the development of science, the anesthetics now chosen are the safest drugs for the fetus, and the amount of anesthetics used for analgesic delivery is much lower than that used for surgical anesthetics such as cesarean section. This analgesic method has been very mature, and there is no need to worry about it
