Our Birth Point , which takes care of the well-being of the mother and the unborn child not only at the time of delivery but also during the entire period of pregnancy, has a 24-hour team of gynaecologists, anaesthetists and neonatologists, midwives and professional nurses.
It is in this reality that the presence of a departmental anesthesia and resuscitation unit in obstetrics, composed of physicians specializing in anesthesia and resuscitation with extensive knowledge and skills in numerous sectors but in particular in the birth path, in addition to an evaluation of all the parturients during the third trimester, offers the possibility at the maternal request of a pharmacological control of pain with perimidolar techniques, on the basis of shared protocols that guarantee the best quality of analgesia associated with maternal-fetal safety.
The same attention is paid to the comparison of postpartum pain and especially post-operative pain in the case of caesarean section, where the possibility of peridural pain control equates the new mothers making them free to breastfeed because the drugs of peridural analgesia are not found in breast milk.
The percentage of birth analgesia in labour is 96% and considering the total anesthesia in the caesarean section, we exceed 3200 peridural procedures per year. We therefore offer on average more than 3000 neuraxial procedures (peridural,spinal, spino-peridural) every year for labour and caesarean section and obstetric interventions.
There are more than 3000 parturients who undergo a pre-partum anaesthetic examination or counselling in case of pathologies of pregnancy or prior to it.
We deal with all emergency situations and the management of maternal-fetal criticalities.
We are present both in the course of preparation for childbirth and in the open days to offer correct information to increase both the awareness of future mothers and the safety of the course and in the permanent training of the delivery room team.
