Objective To explore the effect of epidural anesthesia combined with block anesthesia on relieving pain during childbirth in pregnant women. Methods The sample subjects were 80 pregnant women who gave birth in our hospital between January 2023 and February 2024 According to the selected analgesia mode, they were divided into two groups: 30 who received continuous epidural anesthesia were defined as the control group, and 50 who received combined spinal epidural block were defined as the observation group. The vital signs, analgesic effect, and labor process of the two groups were observed. Results The heart rate and blood oxygen levels of the observation group after anesthesia were better than those of the control group (P < 0.05); the degree of pain during the first, second, and third stages of labor in the observation group was less than that in the control group, and the duration was shorter than that in the control group; the cesarean section rates of the observation group and the control group were 14.00% and 20.00%, respectively. Conclusion The use of lumbar epidural combined anesthesia for pain relief during childbirth in pregnant women is significantly effective and can effectively shorten the labor process, and is recommended for use.
