Potential risks of painless delivery

Apr 08, 2022

Everything has risks, including painless injections.

Because when an anesthesia needle is given, the general anesthesiologist does the puncture by feeling. A small percentage of the dura mater and arachnoid are mistakenly penetrated. At this time, cerebrospinal fluid will flow out, causing changes in intracranial pressure. In the event of cerebrospinal fluid outflow, the mother should lie on the pillow for 72 hours and receive adequate intravenous fluids daily. If you look up too early, it can cause headaches. The incidence of this is about 1%.

Moreover, due to the special body shape of the puerpera, the weight on the spine changes, causing the lumbar vertebrae to protrude forward, making it difficult to position the lumbar spine during puncture, and the lumbar intervertebral space is narrower than the average person. Therefore, it is much more difficult to do a maternal epidural puncture.

At the same time, due to maternal vasodilation, there is also a risk of hematoma caused by bleeding at the puncture site.

A small number of punctures can damage nerves and cause pain in the lower extremities.

There is also the risk of wound infection.

Fortunately, the very small amount of anesthetic in painless labor that reaches the fetus' blood through the placenta doesn't actually make much difference. Therefore, the painless injection of the mother will not affect the fetus.
