Anesthesia

General Anesthesia

The pregnant woman completely loses consciousness and falls asleep due to the effects of the sleeping pills and gases given to her.

Under general anesthesia, the pregnant woman does not feel any pain.

There is a risk that the medication and gases given will reach the baby and put him to sleep.

Under general anesthesia, a tube is placed in the mother's windpipe to support breathing, which may cause post-operative sore throat.

​

Spinal Anesthesia

It is the elimination of pain locally with the help of a needle inserted between the spinal bones at the waist. After this procedure, the pregnant woman typically cannot move her feet and legs andI do not feel any pain in my temperature. However, since the pregnant woman does not sleep, she feels that she is being touched. Some pregnant women may confuse this feeling of touch with a feeling of pain and become restless. Since the pregnant woman does not sleep during spinal anesthesia, she can see her baby, touch him and observe the care procedures. After spinal anesthesia, it may take 3-5 hours for the pregnant woman to regain her leg and foot movements. During spinal anesthesia, there is no risk of transfer of sleeping pills to the baby. Headache may occur in some patients after spinal anesthesia, but this usually disappears on its own in a short time.

​

Epidural Anesthesia

It is performed like spinal anesthesia, but leg and foot movements are not lost. Unlike spinal anesthesia, a cannula is placed in the relevant space and it is possible to administer medication as long as pain is felt with the help of this cannula. The risks and problems that apply to spinal anesthesia also apply to epidural anesthesia, but the procedure is technically more difficult than spinal anesthesia. Epidural anesthesia allows longer-term pain control than spinal anesthesia.
