Fetal Analgesia

Fetal Analgesia is the medical practice of providing pain relief to a fetus during medical procedures. This technique is used during fetal therapies such as intrauterine transfusions, amniocentesis, and fetal blood sampling. Fetal Analgesia is used to reduce pain and stress on the fetus, as well as to reduce maternal stress and to minimize fetal movement, which can interfere with or prevent the procedure from being performed correctly. By reducing the amount of pain and stress experienced by the fetus, fetal analgesia can help improve the safety and outcomes of these medical procedures for both the mother and the fetus.
