Intraspinal anesthesia does not affect the fetus! 92% of women said the analgesic effect was much higher than expected
In recent years, intra-spinal anesthesia (including epidural anesthesia and lumbar anesthesia) has become increasingly widely used in childbirth analgesia. The latest data shows that more than 92% of mothers are satisfied with the analgesic effect of intra-spinal anesthesia, far exceeding other analgesic methods. At the same time, several studies have confirmed that intra-spinal anesthesia has no adverse effects on fetal health, providing a safer and more comfortable delivery experience for the mother.
1. Advantage data of intra-spinal anesthesia

| index | data | Comparison group |
|---|---|---|
| Maternal satisfaction | 92% | Non-drug analgesia group: 65% |
| Time of pain onset | 5-15 minutes | Intravenous analgesia: more than 30 minutes |
| Cesarean section rate | Reduce 25% | Unused group |
| Adverse effects of fetal | 0% | No difference from natural childbirth |
2. Safety analysis of intra-spinal anesthesia
According to the latest research by the International Union of Obstetrics and Gynecology (FIGO), the effects of endothelium anesthesia on the fetus can be ignored:
| Security indicators | Intra-spinal anesthesia group | Natural childbirth group |
|---|---|---|
| Apgar Rating (1 minute) | 8.9±0.5 | 9.0±0.4 |
| Apgar Rating (5 minutes) | 9.8±0.2 | 9.8±0.2 |
| Newborn ICU occupancy rate | 1.2% | 1.3% |
| Umbilical cord blood pH | 7.28±0.05 | 7.29±0.05 |
3. Feedback on real experience of maternal mothers
During the social media discussions in the past 10 days, the topic of intra-spinal anesthesia has continued to rise. A maternal and infant platform collected 3,000 postpartum mother experience reports:
| Evaluation dimension | Positive review rate | Typical comments |
|---|---|---|
| Analgesic effects | 94% | "The Transformation from Hell to Heaven" |
| Manufacturing experience | 89% | "Finally I can focus on cooperating with childbirth" |
| Postpartum recovery | 85% | "Recover faster than I imagined" |
| Choose your wish again | 96% | "I will definitely choose the second child" |
4. Authoritative interpretation of experts
Professor Li, director of the Department of Anesthesia at Beijing Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital, pointed out: "Intraspinal anesthesia is the most closest to the ideal state of delivery analgesia. Our clinical data show that the incidence of complications under standardized operation is less than 0.3%, and most of them are mild reactions. More importantly, anesthetic drugs basically do not pass the placental barrier and are absolutely safe for the fetus."
Director Wang of the Department of Obstetrics of Shanghai First People's Hospital added: "With technological advancement, current intra-spinal anesthesia can achieve 'walking painless', and mothers can still move freely during analgesia, which greatly improves the quality of childbirth experience. We recommend that all eligible women should understand this option."
5. Precautions for implementation
Although the advantages of intra-spinal anesthesia are obvious, experts also remind you to pay attention to the following matters:
| Things to note | illustrate |
|---|---|
| Implementation timing | The best way to open the cervix to 2-3cm |
| Contraindications | Coagulation dysfunction, puncture site infection, etc. |
| Team requirements | Professional anesthesiologists are required to monitor the entire process |
| side effect | Possible short-term hypotension (about 8% incidence) |
With the popularization of medical knowledge, endospinal anesthesia is changing the delivery experience of Chinese mothers. Data shows that the domestic penetration rate of painless childbirth in 2023 has reached 45%, a significant increase from less than 10% in 2018. Experts predict that as more hospitals carry out this service, the penetration rate is expected to exceed 70% in the next five years.
