Epidural anesthesia allows the mother bid
Author: Ann Brown
When anesthesia-the mother reaches 10 centimeters dilated and the baby’s head begins to push the reflex is triggered bidding. Before the epidural anesthesia was administered in single doses and more concentrated, so yes it was a risk of motor paralysis stunning and damaging the ability to push.
At present, epidural blocks pain but does not block the mobilization so the mother can feel the contractions and the urge to push. The only thing that removes the pain of each contraction, but may feel some pressure or muscle tension.
Additionally, during childbirth the mother and baby are monitored and can determine when you will get a contraction.
The anesthesiologist controls at all times the amount and type of medication being given at an early stage the objective is to relieve the anesthesiologist uterine contractions, then the goal will be to relieve the pain in the vagina and perineum when it is dilated and ready to baby’s passage.
If you begin to block the mobilization, feeling of weakness in the legs, or some other mishap, the anesthesiologist will decrease the amount or medication changes, and even other medications can be administered through the epidural catheter.
BENEFITS OF EPIDURAL ANESTHESIA:
* Continuous pain relief from the navel to the vaginal walls
* Mother to not feel pain is getting relaxed and breathing slowly, benefiting both she and the baby who achieve good oxygenation.
* Can be used in cases of caesarean section, allowing the mother to be awake during the operation without getting lost in your baby’s birth.
