Caesarean section anesthesia needle picture

With the improvement of China's medical technology, the risks faced by women during childbirth are gradually decreasing. Many pregnant women have to choose between natural birth or caesarean section. Although doctors will give them some advice based on their conditions, the final decision is still made by the pregnant women themselves. Some pregnant women choose cesarean section because they are afraid of the pain caused by natural delivery, but in some cases, pregnant women have no choice but to choose cesarean section. Many people are curious about how anesthesia is administered during a caesarean section.

We all know that a cesarean section is a procedure in which the doctor cuts open the pregnant woman's abdomen, then cuts open the uterus, and takes the fetus out of the uterus. This requires anesthesia for the pregnant woman before the operation begins. The operation can only be performed after the anesthesia takes effect. Generally, there are professional anesthesiologists. Because pregnant women need to enter anesthesia quickly, so that surgery can be performed quickly and the fetus can be delivered, especially in some critical moments when the fetus is in danger, it is even more necessary for pregnant women to enter anesthesia quickly. Therefore, the anesthetic used by the anesthesiologist for pregnant women is thicker and longer than ordinary needles.

Under normal circumstances, the common anesthetic for pregnant women is 10 cm long, and some are even 11 cm long. If the pregnant woman has very thick body fat, she will need a longer anesthetic. This kind of needle is very painful just by looking at it, let alone passing through thick flesh. The needle passes through the space between the pregnant woman's spine and the spine, and then slowly passes through the epidural space and reaches the subarachnoid space, and then it can reach the site where the anesthetic is placed.

Generally speaking, the anesthesia time for pregnant women before cesarean section is about 15 minutes. After the anesthetic is successfully injected, the waist will quickly enter the anesthesia state until the operation is completed, and the anesthesia effect will continue for a while. After waking up from the anesthesia, the pregnant woman will experience the pain of the wound firsthand. Such anesthesia methods have an impact on pregnant women, for example, back pain after delivery, memory loss, etc. Men should take a good look at it, and never complain about your wife's tenderness. You will never be able to feel the pain she experiences.
