There are benefits to vaginal delivery, but there are also benefits to cesarean section. Of course, both methods have their own drawbacks. If you plan to use cesarean section, you must take anesthesia, otherwise you won't be able to tolerate the pain. So how long is the needle for anesthesia during cesarean section?
Since it is a decision to have a cesarean section, the surgery must be performed under local anesthesia. After all, this is a surgery that undoubtedly requires anesthesia. Nowadays, the needle used for anesthesia in clinical practice is about eight centimeters long. The needle used for anesthesia is actually similar to a lumbar puncture needle, so it must be longer, otherwise it cannot penetrate inside.
The most commonly used method in clinical practice is lumbar anesthesia, which means that doctors will inject anesthesia into the lumbar vertebrae of pregnant women. This anesthesia method is quite different from other surgical anesthesia methods, and the anesthesia site is also very different. Because cesarean section requires anesthesia on the lumbar spine, mothers must be brave.
Moreover, when administering anesthesia, the time may be slightly longer, usually 30 minutes, because the location of anesthesia is still very special, which is also a test for anesthesiologists. Therefore, when deciding on a cesarean section, it is best to choose an experienced doctor. The experience of an anesthesiologist is also very important in order to reduce one's own pain.
