What is labor analgesia technology?

The process of childbirth is accompanied by intense pain, and the highest level of the VAS score describes labor pains. Since most of the pregnant women in China are new mothers, the fear of labor pain makes most of them choose to deliver by cesarean section, which makes China’s cesarean section rate the highest in the world. How to deliver a new life without pain and with the safety of the mother and the newborn? Labor analgesia is a “humanized service” that uses anesthesia to reduce pain during labor and delivery, allowing women to experience a safe, comfortable and meaningful delivery with the help of anesthesiologists, obstetricians, midwives and family members. Compared to cesarean delivery, labor analgesia ensures painlessness while reducing surgical interventions and bringing labor closer to the natural process. Ideally, labor analgesia has a low impact on the mother and baby, the mother cooperates in the birth process, does not interfere with labor, contractions or maternal movements, and is simple and fast-acting. The methods of labor analgesia include intradural nerve block labor analgesia, intravenous labor analgesia, nitrous oxide inhalation labor analgesia, and local neurological labor analgesia. At present, the most widely used labor analgesia method with the highest safety and most accurate analgesic effect is the intraspinal block labor analgesia technique. This analgesic technique is more effective and faster than other methods. It keeps you awake, allows you to eat and drink and walk freely on the floor, and allows you to maintain normal labor force without pain. The mother can participate in the pain herself through an electronic micropump, eliminating the need for additional anesthesia when a cesarean section or assisted delivery is required for difficult deliveries, with no side effects for the mother or the newborn.
