Obstetric Anesthesia-Paracervical Nerve Block
Cross-section of the fetus with head in the birth canal during labor. Pelvic anatomy shows pelvic plexus and blood supply as the anesthetic is administered by an obstetrician or gynecologist in the first stage of labor. The technique consists of submucosal administration of local anesthetics immediately lateral and posterior to the uterocervical junction, which blocks the transmission of pain impulses at the paracervical ganglion.
