Obstetric Anaesthesia

Obstetric anaesthesia involves providing pain relief and anesthesia during pregnancy, labor, and delivery. It helps manage discomfort for women giving birth, whether through techniques like epidurals or other regional blocks. The goal is to ensure the mother is comfortable, awake, and aware during labor while maintaining safety for both mother and baby. Obstetric anaesthesia requires specialized knowledge to handle the unique physiological changes of pregnancy and to respond quickly to any complications that may arise during childbirth.
