How painful is the labor pains? Only those who have experienced production can experience it personally.
There is a set of pain index in the United States, and the pain is divided into 1- 10 according to the degree. The pain index of cutting the middle finger with a knife is 9.2, while the index of natural childbirth is 9.7-9.8, which means it hurts more than a knife. In addition, there is a theory that childbirth pain is second only to the pain caused by fire.
Duan Tao, former director of Shanghai No.1 Maternal and Infant Health Hospital, said that some pregnant women will experience the highest level of pain during childbirth, that is, "the most painful level that human beings can imagine and bear".
Painless delivery has existed in the world for more than 100 years and in China for half a century, but it has not been popularized so far.
According to the report of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), in 2008, the proportion of maternal analgesia in the United States exceeded 60%. In China, the manuscript "Happy Delivery Room, Comfortable Delivery" sponsored by the China Population Communication Center of the National Health and Family Planning Commission on 20 15 said, "It is estimated that painless delivery in China is less than 10%."
Call some 3A general hospitals in Beijing, Shanghai and other places, and find that the penetration rate of painless delivery in obstetric specialized hospitals is higher than that in general hospitals, and that in private hospitals is higher than that in public hospitals. The doctor said that the lack of anesthesiologists in China and the low income of painless delivery surgery are important reasons why painless delivery is difficult to popularize in China.
Embarrassing permeability
The first painless delivery in China has not been tested. According to the paper published by Hu Lingqun, the founder of "Painless Labor in China",13, there was a report about acupuncture analgesia in labor in 1959. 1964, the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangbo Zhang University School of Medicine reported at the first National Anesthesia Academic Conference that low-concentration local anesthetics were used for painless delivery, which was 65438 later than that of the British 1953.
Regarding the popularity of painless delivery in China, many interviewees in the medical field told reporters that the popularity of maternity hospitals is usually higher than that of general hospitals, private hospitals are higher than that of public hospitals, and the popularity of developed areas is higher than that of remote areas, which is related to medical resources.
The Beijing News reporter called some 3A general hospitals in Beijing and Shanghai. Peking University Third Hospital, ditan hospital, Ruijin Hospital affiliated to Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine, Renji Hospital affiliated to Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine (East District) and Shanghai First People's Hospital (Hongkou) all made it clear that painless delivery would not be carried out.
Relevant personnel of the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University School of Medicine said that painless delivery can be provided, which needs to be put forward by the mother herself, and the doctor will evaluate whether it will be carried out according to the situation. Although Beijing anzhen hospital can do it, it can only be provided during the day from Monday to Friday.
Compared with general hospitals, specialist maternity hospitals and private hospitals have a higher incidence of painless delivery. According to the investigation, china welfare institute International Peace Maternal and Child Health Hospital and Beijing Maternity Hospital can provide painless delivery, and pregnant women can learn about related technologies in pregnant women's schools. If the demand is put forward during production, it can be carried out after the doctor's evaluation.
Chen, deputy director of the family planning department of Beijing Maternity Hospital, told the reporter that as long as the mother puts forward and meets the conditions, she can accept painless delivery technology at any time.
As for private hospitals, the penetration rate is higher. Nan Xingdong revealed that their hospital charges about 5,000 yuan for a single painless delivery. About 100 of the 50 parturients every month will choose a natural delivery, and 97-98 of them will have painless delivery.
Li (pseudonym), a native of Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, proposed painless delivery on 20 14 and 20 17, but both of them were rejected by the hospital on the grounds that anesthesiologists were insufficient or not in place. She is still dissatisfied with the attitude of the original hospital, which is the only maternity hospital in her area.
Geng Jia (pseudonym), who once gave birth to a child in a hospital in Beijing, also proposed painless delivery, but in the end the hospital failed to meet her requirements. She just "had an injection of valium when it was killing her, but she still couldn't feel the pain. The pain lasted until she almost bit off her husband's finger."
"In modern society, there should be no pain for women to bear the pain of having children." As Li Yinhe, a sociologist, said, "Whether the parturient is suffering or not reflects the degree of civilization of a society. Relieving the pain for the parturient is a respect for individual life and also reflects a fertility civilization. "
