Dr Guang-Bo Zhang was the first anesthesiologist to administer and study the effects of labor epidural analgesia in China. Between September 1963 and March 1964, she conducted an observational study evaluating the effects of neuraxial analgesia for laboring women. She presented her research and prepared an article; however, due to the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution (Cultural Revolution), which began in 1966, her work went unpublished. She successfully preserved her unpublished article, notes, and slides throughout the Cultural Revolution by hiding them in a countryside location near Beijing. These 54-year-old, previously unpublished documents represent the first known clinical trial of neuraxial labor analgesia conducted in China.
张光博博士是中国首位进行分娩硬膜外镇痛作用研究与应用的麻醉科医生。1963 年 9 月至 1964 年 3 月,她进行了一项观察性研究,评估了椎管内镇痛对分娩妇女的作用。她展示了她的研究并准备了一篇文章;然而,由于 1966 年开始的“无产阶级文化大革命”,她的工作没有发表。她通过将未发表的文章、笔记和幻灯片藏在北京附近的一个农村地区,成功地在文化大革命期间保存了这些 54 年前的未发表文件。这些文件是中国首次已知的进行椎管内分娩镇痛的临床试验。
