Types of anesthesia

It is most often applied:
Promedolum (narcotic вещесто which is entered intravenously or intramusculary)
epidural anesthesia (the anesthetizing substance is entered into space before the firm meninx surrounding a spinal cord)

Whether anesthesia influences the child?

Promedolum in that dose which is used for a labor pain relief does not exert an adverse effect on a fruit. However, the child can have a sleep together with mother.

Epidural anesthesia is considered extremely necessary for careful conducting childbirth, it does childbirth by less traumatic for a fruit as the main obstacle which is met by a fruit head at advance the neck of uterus, considerably is softened and opens quicker.


That it is better: Promedolum or epidural anesthesia

It depends on many circumstances which only the doctor can estimate.

But it must be kept in mind that Promedolum can be entered only once therefore it is better to enter it when strong contractions and a neck of uterus well opened as its action continues 1-1,5 hours. Completely Promedolum does not kill pain, but considerably reduces sharpness of pain, it is in a different way perceived.

And when carrying out epidural anesthesia pain is killed completely, anesthesia can be added through a thin catheter in process of strengthening of pain.

Epidural anesthesia is done by only very experienced anesthesiologists who are perfectly knowing this technique therefore such complication as wound of a spinal cord, is almost excluded. Rare, but meeting, a complication is the headache after the delivery which passes soon.
