Nitrous OxideGas This gas, commonly known as "laughing gas", is mixed with oxygen. To use this method, a mask or mouth piece draws gas from a machine beside the bed. You need to take deep and steady breaths before each contraction becomes painful as it takes about 20 to 30 seconds for the gas to be effective. Since the gas will neither build up in your nor your baby's bodies, it is safe. However, the gas may make you feel light-headed, drowsy or nauseated, and not all mothers find this method of pain relief effective.
Injection of DrugsPain relieving drugs such as Pethidine (which is the most commonly used) can be injected into the muscles to reduce your labour pain, but their efficacy varies among individuals. They tend to make some nauseated or drowsy and reduce the mother's cooperation in pushing. In addition, these drugs cross the placenta to the baby and make it drowsy and depress its breathing after it is born. If this happens, an "antidote" can be given to your baby to reverse these side effects.
Epidural AnalgesiaAnalgesia means pain relief. The anaesthesiologist will place a very fine plastic tube into your epidural space by passing it through a needle which is inserted in your back at about waist level. After the needle is removed and the tube in place, local anaesthetics is then injected to provide pain relief. This normally takes about 10 minutes to perform and another 10 to 15 minutes for the drugs to work. Each dose may last for about 2 hours before it is necessary to inject more drugs down the plastic tube. Alternatively, a continuous slow infusion of local anaesthetics is sometimes used.
Epidural analgesia is the only method that is capable of providing pain relief in labour, and let you stay awake at all times. The local anaesthetics has the tendency to numb your legs but has minimal effect on your baby. With the help of your midwife or obstetrician, you should still be able to push during the 2nd stage of labour. The tube also allows administration of surgical anaesthesia should an urgent Caesarean section or assisted delivery be required. It may also be used to provide post operative pain management. Epidural analgesia is particularly valuable when labour is long and difficult.
Combined Spinal Epidural Analgesia (CSE)Combined spinal epidural analgesia resembles the epidural analgesia procedure described earlier. However, after putting the needle in your back and before placing the plastic tube, your anaesthesiologist will insert another finer needle through the first needle to puncture the dura (the tough membrane around your spinal cord) for injection of a small amount of anaesthetics. After that, this needle will be removed and the plastic tube will be put in the epidural space as described earlier.
One of the major advantages of combined spinal epidural analgesia is that it is one of the better and quicker ways to relieve your pain and you can still maintain your mobility.
Saya rasa..Gas la yg terbaik..sebab saya dah pernah guna...
