“无痛”分娩服务，将全国普及！

减轻分娩的疼痛感，让生娃尽可能“不遭罪”——国家卫生健康委等部门5日公布相关工作通知，将推动医疗机构广泛开展分娩镇痛服务。

根据《关于全面推进分娩镇痛工作的通知》，到2025年底，全国开展产科医疗服务的三级医疗机构将全部能够提供分娩镇痛服务；到2027年，开展产科医疗服务的二级以上医疗机构将全部能够提供分娩镇痛服务。

China plans to expand access to pain relief during labor and delivery as part of efforts to build a birth-friendly society, health authorities said on Thursday.

By the end of this year, all tertiary hospitals offering obstetric services in China will be capable of delivering epidural anesthesia during childbirth, and by 2027, all secondary hospitals will be able to provide the services, according to a notice released by the National Health Commission and the country's top traditional Chinese medicine and disease control authorities.

obstetric adj.产科的；生产的，分娩的

epidural anesthesia 硬膜外麻醉

注： 分娩镇痛是通过麻醉医师在产妇腰椎脊髓的硬膜外注射麻药，缓解其生产疼痛

分娩镇痛服务，俗称“无痛”分娩，即通过将药物注入产妇的脊柱椎管内，极大缓解其生产疼痛。医学界公认这是一项简单易行、安全成熟的技术。

根据通知，医疗机构要落实分娩镇痛技术基本要求，加强分娩镇痛基本设施建设和设备药品配置，强化分娩镇痛相关专业技术人员培养，建立产科与麻醉科协作机制、完善分娩镇痛服务流程。同时，还将规范开展分娩镇痛服务，加强分娩镇痛支持保障。

此外，地方各级卫生健康行政部门将积极协调相关部门提供政策支持，强化对医疗机构分娩镇痛工作的日常监督管理，切实保障分娩镇痛医疗质量安全，并定期组织培训、指导和开展评估。

Efforts will be made to strengthen building infrastructure needed for administering epidural labor relief, such as setting up a dedicated procedure room that meets strict sterilization standards and ensuring constant monitoring of hospital-acquired infections.

It is also important to guarantee supplies of equipment and medications, while enhancing training of specialized personnel.

此前，国家卫生健康委在全国近千家医院开展了分娩镇痛试点工作。多地还在积极推进将分娩镇痛医疗服务项目纳入医保报销范围。

The country began piloting the expansion of childbirth anesthesia at 912 hospitals across 30 provincial-level regions in 2018.

In recent years, a growing number of regions have begun covering childbirth anesthesia fees in their medical insurance programs in an effort to relieve families' financial burden.
