Analgesics and Anesthetics

N.B Marie is no longer a nurse. She has not been a member of the Ordre des Infirmières et Infirmiers du Québec since 2016. She has also been retired from the health network since 2016. Please note that some videos were shot while she was a member of the Order, which explains the title of perinatal nurse indicated at the time, which is no longer effective today.

Are you giving birth in a hospital and would like to learn about the different ways to soothe pain? Marie and Dr. Martine Pirlet, anesthesiologist, talk about analgesics and anesthetics that can be used during childbirth. Epidurals, spinal anesthesia and pudendal nerve blocks will reveal their secrets.
