Local Anesthetics: Clinical Application as Epidural Anesthesia

Epidural anesthetics are administered in the fat-filled epidural space, the outermost part of the spinal canal. This technique is commonly employed for pain management and anesthesia during lower abdomen and pelvis surgeries or labor and delivery.
Since epidural anesthetics can be infused through an epidural catheter, all types of drugs, including short-acting ones, can be administered. Chloroprocaine and lidocaine are examples of short and long-duration anesthetics, respectively. Bupivacaine...

Endoscopic Procedures IV: Sigmoidoscopy and Laproscopy

Sigmoidoscopy and laparoscopy are distinct medical procedures that enable physicians to internally inspect different parts of the GI tract. Although they serve different purposes, each is essential for diagnosing and, in some cases, treating various medical conditions.
Sigmoidoscopy
Sigmoidoscopy is a diagnostic procedure that uses a flexible sigmoidoscope equipped with a light source and camera to examine the rectum and sigmoid colon. The procedure involves inserting the tube through the anus...

Psychosurgery

Psychosurgery, the surgical alteration or permanent removal of brain tissue to alleviate severe psychological conditions, stands as one of the most radical and controversial treatments in the history of mental health care. Its development and application have evolved significantly, marked by dramatic shifts in scientific understanding and ethical perspectives.
Historical Development of Psychosurgery
In the 1930s, Portuguese neurologist Antonio Egas Moniz introduced a surgical procedure designed...

Disorders of the Female Reproductive System

The female reproductive system can be affected by several disorders, including Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS), Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD), endometriosis, and various forms of cancer. PMS and PMDD are cyclical conditions that cause physical and emotional distress, with symptoms that include edema, mood swings, and food cravings. PMDD is a more severe form of PMS characterized by increased symptom severity that peaks during the luteal phase and tends to improve or resolve shortly after...

Summary

Many women lack knowledge about delivery risks and benefits, with nearly half believing cesarean delivery on maternal request (CDMR) is always an option. Improving women's understanding of normal and cesarean delivery is crucial.

Area of Science:

  • Obstetrics and Gynecology
  • Maternal Health
  • Surgical Procedures

Background:

  • Cesarean delivery on maternal request (CDMR) rates are influenced by maternal knowledge and attitudes.
  • Understanding women's perceptions of normal delivery (ND) and cesarean delivery (CD) is essential for informed decision-making.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess women's knowledge of ND and CD.
  • To evaluate attitudes towards CDMR.
  • To identify factors influencing these attitudes.

Main Methods:

  • A questionnaire was administered to 400 women.
  • The survey assessed knowledge of ND and CD.
  • Attitudes and beliefs regarding delivery modes and CDMR were evaluated.

Main Results:

  • Most women favored ND for its natural process and lower risks.
  • A significant portion (47%) believed CDMR is always permissible.
  • Fear of labor pain, maternal age, and misconceptions about ND risks influenced CDMR preference.

Conclusions:

  • Many women possess inaccurate or limited knowledge regarding CD risks and benefits.
  • Education is vital to improve understanding and potentially reduce unnecessary CDMR.
  • Addressing fears and misconceptions can support informed birth choices.
