Medicine Baby Quiz | Will using anesthesia to relieve pain during childbirth make people stupid?

Labor analgesia uses intrathecal analgesia technology, which is a type of local anesthesia. After the anesthetic is injected into the spinal canal, it mainly acts around the spinal nerves, thereby blocking nerve conduction and preventing pain from reaching the center, thereby relieving pain. The drug will not enter the blood directly, and the amount that circulates through the blood to the brain is very small, and it will be quickly metabolized and excreted from the body without affecting the brain. Whether from the perspective of the health of the pregnant mother or the child, local anesthesia is a safer way to relieve labor analgesia.
