Effects of epidural anesthesia on babies

There are two main types of drugs used for epidural anesthesia:

1. Local anesthetics. The amount of local anesthetic used in epidural anesthesia is very small, although theoretically there is a possibility that local anesthetics can penetrate the maternal blood-placental barrier and reach the fetus, especially in the case of intrauterine distress, local anesthetics may occur. accumulate in the fetus. However, if the epidural local anesthetics currently used routinely does not directly enter the blood, the dose reaching the fetus is negligible, and its effect is almost negligible.

2. Morphine. A small amount of morphine is added to most epidurals to improve pain relief. Like local anesthetics, morphines also have the potential to penetrate the maternal blood-placental barrier and reach the fetus. But again, the doses of morphine-like drugs that reach the fetus are so tiny that their effect is almost negligible.
