減輕分娩的疼痛感，讓生娃盡可能“不遭罪”——國家衛(wèi)生健康委等部門5日公布相關工作通知，將推動醫(yī)療機構廣泛開展分娩鎮(zhèn)痛服務。

根據《關于全面推進分娩鎮(zhèn)痛工作的通知》，到2025年底，全國開展產科醫(yī)療服務的三級醫(yī)療機構將全部能夠提供分娩鎮(zhèn)痛服務；到2027年，開展產科醫(yī)療服務的二級以上醫(yī)療機構將全部能夠提供分娩鎮(zhèn)痛服務。

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.產科的；生產的，分娩的

epidural anesthesia 硬膜外麻醉

注： 分娩鎮(zhèn)痛是通過麻醉醫(yī)師在產婦腰椎脊髓的硬膜外注射麻藥，緩解其生產疼痛

分娩鎮(zhèn)痛服務，俗稱“無痛”分娩，即通過將藥物注入產婦的脊柱椎管內，極大緩解其生產疼痛。醫(yī)學界公認這是一項簡單易行、安全成熟的技術。

根據通知，醫(yī)療機構要落實分娩鎮(zhèn)痛技術基本要求，加強分娩鎮(zhèn)痛基本設施建設和設備藥品配置，強化分娩鎮(zhèn)痛相關專業(yè)技術人員培養(yǎng)，建立產科與麻醉科協作機制、完善分娩鎮(zhèn)痛服務流程。同時，還將規(guī)范開展分娩鎮(zhèn)痛服務，加強分娩鎮(zhèn)痛支持保障。

此外，地方各級衛(wèi)生健康行政部門將積極協調相關部門提供政策支持，強化對醫(yī)療機構分娩鎮(zhèn)痛工作的日常監(jiān)督管理，切實保障分娩鎮(zhèn)痛醫(yī)療質量安全，并定期組織培訓、指導和開展評估。

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，國家衛(wèi)生健康委在全國近千家醫(yī)院開展了分娩鎮(zhèn)痛試點工作。多地還在積極推進將分娩鎮(zhèn)痛醫(yī)療服務項目納入醫(yī)保報銷范圍。

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.
