What is the epidural anesthesia like, does it hurt?

May 09, 2022

Of course, it will hurt. Local anesthetic is injected into the epidural space to block the spinal nerve root and temporarily paralyze the innervated area. The epidural space does not communicate with the cranial cavity, and the liquid does not spread to the brain tissue. The dose required for epidural anesthesia is 5 to 10 times larger than that of subarachnoid anesthesia. If local anesthetic is accidentally injected into the subarachnoid space, it can cause general spinal anesthesia, respiratory and cardiac arrest. After adding an appropriate amount of adrenaline to the local anesthetic, its absorption can be slowed down and the duration of action can be prolonged.
