Cortical responses to pain and anxiety during labor are use of Anesthetic Agents complex dose of each agent varies widely and is dependent influenced by maternal expectations for childbirth, on the particular nerve block and her age, preparation through education, emotional physical status of the woman support, and other factors onset, duration, and quality of analgesia can be heightened by fear and the need to move into enhanced by raising the volume or various positions ⑪ concentration PRINCIPLES: VAGINAL DELIVERY can be done safely only by incrementally administering small-volume boluses of the agent first stage of labor: requires a sensory block to the level of & and carefully monitoring early warning signs of the umbilicus (T10) toxicity Administration of these agents must be followed by second stage of labor and for operative vaginal delivery: a appropriate monitoring for adverse sensory block of S2 through S4 is usually · reactions adequate to cover pain from perineal stretching and/or ANALGESIA AND SEDATION DURING LABOR Equipment and personnel to manage these reactions GENERAL PRINCIPLES OF OB ANESTHESIA instrumentation. must be immediately available Maternal factors that may prompt anesthesia If uterine contractions and cervical dilatation cause Analgesic options include continuous lumbar discomfort, pain relief is offered PUDENDAL BLOCK Body mass index >30 kg/m2 epidural analgesia, combined spinal-epidural, Pain with vaginal delivery arises from stimuli from Short or thick neck or skeletal neck abnormality continuous spinal analgesia, and other blocks such as the lower genital tract these are transmitted primarily through the Obstructive lesions: edema, anatomical pudendal and paracervical blocks. pudendal nerve, the peripheral branches of which abnormalities provide sensory innervation to the perineum, anus, Trauma vulva, and clitoris Decreased range of motion in opening the mouth or pudendal nerve passes beneath the sacrospinous small mandible ligament just as the ligament attaches to the ischial Thyromegaly or other neck tumor spine Severe preeclampsia syndrome NOTE TAKER: ABDELKAWI Page 1 | 7 NOTE TAKER: ABDELKAWI Page 2 | 7 PCC SOM PCC SOM 2026 OBSTETRICS 2 M.03.02 OB ANESTHESIA Sensory nerve fibers of the pudendal nerve are 2026 OBSTETRICS 2 M.03.02 OB ANESTHESIA derived from ventral branches of the S2 through S4 SPINAL /SUBARACHNOID BLOCK CHECKLIST! 8.
