Over 95% of mothers no longer experience labor pain thanks to Vinmec's "specialty"

"Delivery pain" has long been seen to be normal and is a woman's obsession. However, a French expert in Vietnam did not believe it was typical. After two years, Vinmec Hospital System has made that idea a "speciality," releasing hundreds of thousands of mothers from their worries and concerns during childbirth.

Tra My Idol, who gave birth for the second time, chose the "painless delivery" service at Vinmec International General Hospital, which uses the lumbar squamous sphincter procedure. "Within the first 24 hours, I felt much more at ease, and there was no abdominal ache." On the 4th day, despite having a cesarean section without pain, my health recovered and I was able to leave the hospital to go home. The outstanding chameleon of the Vietnamese music industry recalled her birth experience.

Like Tra My Idol, the feeling of painless childbirth is one of the deep impressions that many Hot Moms such as supermodel Ha Anh, Hang Bag... and mothers talk about Vinmec. After giving birth for the first time at Vinmec and "going to give birth as lightly as a vacation," actress Diep Lam Anh decided to give birth to her second child here at the end of October.

Few individuals really comprehend the sorrow and echoes of a mother's life behind the delight of "round mother, square baby" of each family. According to a new study published in Europe in January 2019, 13% of moms who deliver an episiotomy vaginally endure prolonged or chronic discomfort after giving birth.

Many moms require an episiotomy during a vaginal delivery, and they may suffer lasting pain afterward, as well as occasional unexplained pain. Morphine is the most prevalent means of providing spinal anesthesia for cesarean sections today. Morphine has a number of negative side effects, including vomiting, dizziness, and the potential to alter the mother's genetic makeup. If the pain is not managed, it can result in a higher opioid (morphine) dose, a higher risk of postpartum depression and chronic pain, and a negative impact on the mother's health, personal life, and child care.

Professor Philippe Macaire, Head of Anesthesiology Department, Vinmec International General Hospital, has more than 30 years of experience in the field of anesthesiology and is quite familiar with these pains of women . He was determined to work with Vinmec to relieve moms of the agony which he believed was not worth it.

From the beginning of 2017, he initiated the "Painless hospital" model and persistently transferred and trained so that the techniques of regional anesthesia in obstetrics (neuraxial anesthesia, square muscle anesthesia) were applied thoroughly at all Vinmec Hospitals. 100% of births at Vinmec are applied regional anesthetic techniques to reduce pain during and after birth. The mechanism ofthese regional anesthetic techniques is simple and safe: Early detection and early blocking of pain signals transmitted to the human brain.

"Vinmec has achieved a very high success rate, even when compared to the world level, after two years of application: 96-98 percent of instances of pain reduction with regional anesthesia in obstetrics have attained the targeted pain relief result." This has aided mothers giving birth at Vinmec in having a peaceful birth and recovering quickly after giving birth. Moreover, mothers who have had a cesarean section do not use morphine to relieve pain, so breast milk does not contain morphine and ensures a great source of nutrition for the baby” – Professor Macaire shared.

Many countries throughout the world have used regional anesthetics in obstetrics. Vinmec has been the first and only hospital in Vietnam to employ regional anesthetic to treat pain during and after surgery in obstetrics and gynecology in 100% of deliveries since 2017. In several European countries, such as Denmark (January 2019 study, 37-55 percent of cases still require opioids notwithstanding regional anesthetic), 47-60 percent does not prolong the required analgesic effect (according to the author Raphael Blanco - the father of regional anesthesia reported in 2017).

Prof. Macaire explained why Vinmec has had such great success: "Vinmec clinicians always employ ultrasound guidance before doing any regional anesthetic operation, even spinal anesthesia." Place the needle in the desired spot while still alive to ensure safety and effectiveness. Furthermore, from the time the mother is admitted to the hospital until the hospital stay following the birth, an anesthesiologist visits the room every day to assess the pain and facilitate timely intervention."

Painless delivery techniques at Vinmec are becoming a phenomena of interest to the medical profession at home and internationally as a result of these amazing accomplishments. At specialized training courses on regional anesthesia organized by Vinmec and University of Montpellier (France) and Korean partners, Vinmec has shared and spread this method to many hospitals in Asia and Europe. In January-February 2019, the Regional Anesthesia Conference for Asia (RA Asia 2019) was held; in June 2019, the Regional Anesthesia Conference for Asia (RA Asia 2019) was held.
