Explanation

Epidural anesthesia, commonly used for pain relief during labor, works by blocking nerve impulses in the lower part of the spine, leading to a decrease in sensation and pain in that area. However, this blockade also affects the sympathetic nerves, which are responsible for regulating blood pressure. When these nerves are blocked, they can cause peripheral vasodilation, which is the widening of the blood vessels in the periphery of the body.

Peripheral vasodilation leads to a decrease in vascular resistance, which can significantly lower blood pressure. This drop in blood pressure, known as hypotension, is a common side effect of epidural anesthesia. Hypotension can reduce the blood flow to vital organs, including the placenta, which may affect fetal oxygenation if not promptly and effectively managed. This necessitates careful monitoring and management, typically involving fluid administration and sometimes the use of medications to maintain stable blood pressure during the administration of epidural anesthesia.
