Experience of pain relief from the moment of eruption of the head - "Durchtrittsnarcose"
Abstract
Pain relief of the birth act, despite the considerable literature on this issue and the abundance of experimental and clinical observations, is still a far from resolved task, which nevertheless urgently requires resolution, for a modern woman suffers much more spiritually and physically from physiological labor pains than a woman more distant times (Pankow). The variety of methods and medications offered for this purpose is the best proof that we still do not have reliable methods of pain relief during labor. Moreover, these or those methods cannot be considered absolutely harmless, both for the mother and for the fetus — and this, of course, is their most significant drawback.
