Regional Analgesia in Painless Childbirth 2024February 7, 2025 Published by Dariush on January 1, 2026 Categories تولد رستم DateJanuary 1, 2026 Regional analgesia is a cornerstone of modern obstetric care, providing effective pain relief during labor while maintaining maternal and fetal safety. Epidural analgesia remains the gold standard because of its excellent controllability, high‑quality analgesia, and minimal proven fetal effects, although contraindications such as coagulopathy must be considered. Advances in regional techniques have shown no increase in cesarean delivery rates and only minor effects on labor duration. This presentation reviews epidural, spinal, combined spinal‑epidural, and peripheral nerve block techniques, as well as regional options for post‑cesarean analgesia, highlighting the role of ultrasound guidance in improving safety and clinical outcomes.
