nalbuphine
Nubain
52
Nalbuphine (Nubain)
opioid analgesic for regional pain management
53
regional pain managment for birth
* pudendal blocks * epidurals * spinals (subarchnoid blocks) * combined spinal-epidurals * continuous spinals
54
Advantages of: * pudendal blocks * epidurals * spinals (subarchnoid blocks) * combined spinal-epidurals * continuous spinals
* safest forms of analgesia for client and fetus * provides pain relief without loss of consciousness
55
Disadvantages of: * pudendal blocks * epidurals * spinals (subarchnoid blocks) * combined spinal-epidurals * continuous spinals
* depend on specific techniques and on how the mother responds
56
* anesthetizes the lower vagina and part of the perineum * provides anesthesia for an episiotomy and vaginal birth * does not block pain from uterine contractions * mother feels pressure
pudendal block
57
* injecting a local anesthetic agent, often combined with an opioid, into epidural space * provides substantial relief of pain from contractions and birth canal distention * can be extended upward * analgesia, rather than full anesthesia * adequate pain relief without complete motor block
epidural block
58
adverse effects of a epidural block
* maternal hypotention * bladder distention * prolonged second stage * maternal fever * shivering * catheter migration
59
adverse effects of intrathecal opioids
* n/v * pruritis * delayed maternal respiratory depression may occur
60
containdications and precautions for Spinal or Subarachnoid block (SAB)
* like epidural blocks * increased intracranial pressure secondary to a mass lesion * client refusal or inability to cooperate during placement * uncorrected coagulation conditions * uncorrected hypovolemia * infection * fetal condition requiring immediate birth
61
adverse effects of general anesthesia
* failed intubation * aaspiration * adverse reaction to med * malignant hyperthermia * respiratory depression * increased risk of bleeding if also on mag sulfate * uterine relaxation
