Epidural anesthesia

   Get to experience the joy of normal childbirth with an epidural anesthesia in our hospital. Epidural anesthesia is a safe and widely used method of pain relief during childbirth. It involves administering a local anesthetic to numb the lower half of your body, providing efficient reducing of the pain, all the while allowing you to remain awake and actively participate in the birth of your precious young one.

   Our highly qualified anesthesiologists and medical staff are experienced in administering an epidural with great care and precision. You can be sure that you and your baby are in the hands of dedicated professionals who understand the unique needs of expecting mums.

  „Epidural“ and „Light Spinal“ are the medications we could use to ensure a painless childbirth. After getting to know the benefits of this method of anesthesia, many women prefer and choose an epidural anesthesia. The procedure itself is performed by inserting a very thin needle between the 4th and 5th vertebrae and injecting a combination of an anesthetic and an analgetic. It could be done by placing a thin catheter in the epidural area, which would allow us to continually or occasionally administer medicine in several doses.

  Epidural anesthesia can be used to relieve pain in the first and second phase of the childbirth process. It would obtain maximal results around 20 min after administering the medication and the patient would feel the contractions getting less and less painful. It would eventually block out any pain because the medication numbs the nerves. The anesthesia would lose its effect after a few hours. Many moms-to-be are considering this procedure but they are unsure due to stories of consequences they have heard or fear of the procedure itself.
