Coping with labour pain
What can be said about the importance of labor analgesia. I did not understand it in the beginning. Because the physiology of obstetrics not only changes but is dynamic. It keeps on changing depending upon the gestational month of the mother. Hence the difficulty faced by me are summarized in this presentation. It is very different and difficult but extremely rewarding.
An episiotomy is a surgical procedure to widen the opening of the vagina during childbirth.
During labor, your perineum — the skin and muscles between your vagina and anus — will be numbed with a shot, if you haven't already been given an epidural.
Then, a small, straight incision will be made in the middle of the perineum.
Alternatively, the incision may be made at an angle — a cut that is less likely than a straight incision to tear through the anus, but may take longer to heal.
History, Myths, Indications & Contraindications, and Methods of painless labor as a means of natural way of childbirth with a lot of benefits for mothers & babies.
This topic should be known by medical practitioners as well all the pregnant mothers to a certain extend to request for pain relieving modalities.......

Recomendações da OMS sobre cuidados maternos e neonatais para uma experiência pós-natal positiva.
Em consonância com os ODS – Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável e a Estratégia Global para a Saúde das Mulheres, Crianças e Adolescentes, e aplicando uma abordagem baseada nos direitos humanos, os esforços de cuidados pós-natais devem expandir-se para além da cobertura e da simples sobrevivência, de modo a incluir cuidados de qualidade.
Estas diretrizes visam melhorar a qualidade dos cuidados pós-natais essenciais e de rotina prestados às mulheres e aos recém-nascidos, com o objetivo final de melhorar a saúde e o bem-estar materno e neonatal.
Uma “experiência pós-natal positiva” é um resultado importante para todas as mulheres que dão à luz e para os seus recém-nascidos, estabelecendo as bases para a melhoria da saúde e do bem-estar a curto e longo prazo. Uma experiência pós-natal positiva é definida como aquela em que as mulheres, pessoas que gestam, os recém-nascidos, os casais, os pais, os cuidadores e as famílias recebem informação consistente, garantia e apoio de profissionais de saúde motivados; e onde um sistema de saúde flexível e com recursos reconheça as necessidades das mulheres e dos bebês e respeite o seu contexto cultural.
Estas diretrizes consolidadas apresentam algumas recomendações novas e já bem fundamentadas sobre cuidados pós-natais de rotina para mulheres e neonatos que recebem cuidados no pós-parto em unidades de saúde ou na comunidade, independentemente dos recursos disponíveis.
É fornecido um conjunto abrangente de recomendações para cuidados durante o período puerperal, com ênfase nos cuidados essenciais que todas as mulheres e recém-nascidos devem receber, e com a devida atenção à qualidade dos cuidados; isto é, a entrega e a experiência do cuidado recebido. Estas diretrizes atualizam e ampliam as recomendações da OMS de 2014 sobre cuidados pós-natais da mãe e do recém-nascido e complementam as atuais diretrizes da OMS sobre a gestão de complicações pós-natais.
O estabelecimento da amamentação e o manejo das principais intercorrências é contemplada.

stretagies:
• Support from a
coach(experienced in
childbirth) or any companion
• Hydrotherapy (water therapy)
Standing under warm
shower or soaking in
tube of warm water , the
temperature of water
used should be between
35-37c .
9. • TRANSCUTANEOUS ELECTRICAL NERVE
STIMULATION(TENS)
Two paired of electrodes attached to women
back T10-L1 .
Low- intensity electrical stimulation is given
continuously or applied by women herself as a
contraction begin .
Block afferent fibers and preventing pain to travel
from uterus to spinal cord synapses and facilitate
release of endorphin
Carries no
harm to fetus
and mother.
10. Acupuncture
Based on concept that illness result
from an imbalance of energy , to
correct the imbalance needles are
inserted into the skin at specific body
points , activation of these point lead
to release of endorphins .
Helpful in first stage of labor
12. Application of Heat and Cold
Heat Application
•To increase blood flow and
relieves muscle ischemia.
•increases relaxation
Cold application
• slowing transmission of pain.
Aromatherapy
A study revealed
that aromatherapy decreas
ed the labour pain, but did
not affect the duration of
labour phases.
13. Hypnosis
In this the focus of attention is to reduce
awareness of the external environment.
For childbirth, hypnosis is often used to focus
attention on feelings of comfort or numbness as
well as to enhance women's feelings of relaxation
and sense
14. Sterile water injections (SWI)
•Sterile water
injections (SWI) are
an effective method
for the relief of back
pain in labour.
•The procedure
involves a small
amount of sterile
water (0.1 ml to 0.2
ml) injected under
the skin at four
locations on the
lower back
15. Double Hip Squeeze
The double hip squeeze
changes the shape of the
pelvis and releases tension
on the sacroiliac joints.
17. PHARMACOLOGICAL
STRETAGIES
Narcotic analgesic (opioid analgesic)
Narcotic analgesic includes: pethidine
(meperidin) , fentanyl remifentanil,
morphine, tramadol
Pethedin-most commonly used analgesic in
labor has sedative and
antispasmodic actions
makes it effective not only for
relieving pain & relaxing cervix
providing feeling of euphoria and
well-being
Narcotic antagonist : naloxon (Narcan)
18. Advantages
increased ability to
cope with labor
Its nurse-administered
No amnesic effect but
create a felling of well-
being or euphoria
Disadvantages
Uncomfortable side
effects, such as nausea
and vomiting, pruritus,
drowsiness and
neonatal depression
Pain is not eliminated

OBSTETRICSJOHN SNOW (1853) USED ANAESTHESIA
ON QUEEN VICTORIA FOR THE BIRTH OF PRINCE
LEOPOLD.
21. . Anesthesia
The use of medication to partially or totally block all
sensation to an area of the body
Local anesthesia
Reduce ability of local nerve fiber to conduct pain
Numbs the perineum just before birth to allow for episiotomy
and repair
Regional anesthesia
injection of local anesthetic agent -tetracaine or
bupivacine to block specific nerve pathways that supply a
particular organ or area of the body
spinal analgesia
epidural analgesia

•General anesthesia
Intra Venous Analgesia
Inhalational Analgesia
24. Spinal
Anaesthesia(subarachnoid)
A fine gauge atraumatic spinal
needle is inserted in to the
subarachnoid space
Small volume of local
anaesthetic
(bupivocain/ropivocain) is
injected in 3rd ,4th or 5th lumber
space, after
which the spinal needle is
withdrawn
Not used for routine

in labour
• Anesthesia normally raise to
25.
26. Complication
hypotension from sympathetic blockage lead
to impaired placental perfusion and ineffective
breathing pattern may occur during spinal
anesthesia
Turn the women to her left side
I.V fluid administration to increase blood volume
Vasopressin to increase BP
O2 may be used
Check V/S every 5-10min
27. pharmacological strategies
Complication
spinal headache
Occur because continuous leakage of CSF from the
needle insertion site or by instillation of air into CSF ,
shift in pressure of CSF cause strain in vertebral
meanings.
Incidence reduced by using of :
small-gauge needle (25G)
Increase fluid intake to replace spinal fluid
28. Epidural analgesia
Epidural catheter inserted at the level of L2-L3
L3-L4 or L4-L5 interspace & to the epidural
space.
Catheter is aspirated to check the position
Test dose given to confirm the catheter position
small volume of diluted local anaesthetic (10-
15ml)
After 5mins loading dose of mixture of 0.1%
Bupivacaine with fentanyl 12mcg/ml is given
Prepare ephedrine for IV injection(30mg diluted
in 9mg of saline or water)
Infusion of epidural solution 6-12ml/hr
30. Important…
Secure IV access
Establishment/after each bolus measure BP every
5min for 15min,provide continuous EFM for 30 min
Every hour; check level of sensory block.
Continue until completion of the 3rd stage & any
perineal repair.
Birth should take place within 4hours.
32. Complications
Accidental dural puncture-leak of CSF causing
spinal headache
Accidental total spinal anaesthesia -severe
hypotension, respiratory failure, unconsciousness &
death
Drug toxicity occur with
accidental placement of catheter
within a blood vessel
Bladder dysfunction
Short term respiratory distress in
baby
33. 3. Combined spinal-epidural anesthesia CSE
Combination of opioid and local anesthesia injected
inside epidura and in subarachnoid space , used to
block pain transmission without compromising motor
ability
It is associated with greater incident with FHR
abnormalities than epidural analgesia alone
34. Patient control epidural analgesia
The newest method is the using PCA that will be programmed
specially for the patient by anesthesiologist indwelling
catheter and programmed pump that allow women to control
the dose of analgesic , this method provide optimal analgesia
with higher maternal satisfaction and enhance sense of control
during labor. (saito et al,2005)
35. Inhalational analgesia
during labour involves the self-administered
inhalation of sub-anaesthetic concentrations
of agents while the mother remains awake
and her protective laryngeal reflexes remain
intact
36. Inhalational analgesia
N2O does not interfere
with uterine
contractions.
No effect on fetus too.
Premixed nitrous
oxide &oxygen.
N2O 50% and O2 50%

Indication
for cesarean section delivery when regional
techniques cannot be used:
Coagulopathy, infection (spinal),
hypovolemia , moderate to severe vulvular
stenosis, progressive neurologic disease
Mother : unconscious, no pain, unpleasant
memories
Fetus: should not be injured with minimal
depression and intact reflex irritability so
deliver baby as soon as possible.
39. Procedure:
1. Be prepared with antacid
2. Give 100% oxygen with a close-fitting
