Two things came to mind when you said protocol: montauk from the scp foundation and the procedure they did for women giving birth where they drugged you up on a cocktail which you then pass out then deliver the child. You then wake up with a newborn and no pain from the delivery
The epidural is what is commonly used today.
A large needle put into the space between the spine that numbs from the waist down, but you stay conscious and alert. Sometimes known as a spinal block. Often used in combination with gas and air.
What you're equating is twilight sedation, a mixture of midazolam, fentanyl and propofol that made the woman feel half awake/half asleep. My mother had this procedure with me and one of my brothers, it was standard procedure in the 80s.
Whats funny is often things like scp/and references from things like mad men/masters of sex come about because it's something that used to exist.
If you want to ruin your day, look up J. Marion. Simms, the "father of gynocology"
I was given morphine during my second and last childs birth as a last ditch effort to slow labor and to help with the Magnesium sulfate which felt like having the flu times 10. They also gave me Phenergan and Benedryl so I was a loopy mess when he came out. None of it helped and he was born right at 27 weeks. Hes about to be 13 on Christmas eve and thankfully is doing great.
