The modern mother-to-be has
more and more ways available to her to effect pain relief during the various stages of
labour. The most convenient option comes in the form of an inhalation analgesic called,
Entonox.
Entonox is a 50 : 50 mixture of Nitrous Oxide and Oxygen, wherein the Nitrous Oxide
provides the analgesia, whereas the Oxygen gives additional benefit to both mother and
baby.
 Its use should
generally start towards the end of the first stage of labour. That is when it is most
beneficial. It is also beneficial for women whose cervix is not fully dilated and they get
a premature urge to push. For these women, if they use Entonox and change their position,
it has been found that the two things in conjunction help tremendously.
It takes about 20 seconds to feel the effect of Entonox, with maximum benefit in about a
minute. In order to get the maximum pain relief, it is advisable to start taking in
Entonox early enough, when the uterus begins to tighten.
Entonox is a safe and well proven which has been used in modern midwifery for many years.
It provides the mother-to-be with “total control”, because it only works when
she breathes in and stops automatically when she breathes out. Besides, the face mask or
the mouthpiece of the Demand Valve Apparatus is always hand held, hence the control.
