Is epidural needle anesthesia painful?

Epidural anesthesia is suitable for lower abdomen, as well as lower extremity surgery, usually anesthesia puncture from the waist. Because the epidural puncture needle is relatively thick, a local anesthesia is usually injected at the puncture site first. For local anesthesia, subcutaneous infiltration anesthesia with lidocaine is used, and the puncture is performed after the local anesthesia is applied. During the puncture process, there will be a feeling of swelling and pain, but this feeling of swelling and pain is not particularly obvious, and most people can tolerate it, which is similar to the pain of a skin test.

After the epidural anesthesia puncture, let the patient lie down, usually give 3-5ml of the experimental volume first, if the patient feels numb and has no other discomfort, you can give the patient 10-15ml of anesthetics, In another 5 minutes, the anesthesia effect of the operation can be achieved, and the patient can be operated on at this time. During the operation, the patient's lower body is unconscious. Some patients also use an epidural pain relief pump after surgery, so when the epidural anesthesia is finished, the epidural catheter should be fixed to prevent the catheter from falling off after returning to the ward after surgery.
