麻醉
If you are contemplating the need for pain relief during labor, contact your physician to discuss your concerns and make arrangements well in advance.
一氧化二氮
Women's 服务 at Highpoint Health – Riverview with Ascension Saint Thomas now offers nitrous oxide. Nitrous oxide is gas that can be inhaled in a mixture with oxygen to help relieve labor pain. To learn more, check out the FAQs below.
- How is 一氧化二氮 administered?
It is a portable device that can be brought into your labor and delivery room by your nurse. 你会有 a mask that is connected to oxygen and nitrous oxide. When you inhale through the mask, the machine will give you a dose of the gas and when you exhale into the mask the gas is removed from the air with 一种吸力机构制造技术.
- Can I have it whenever I want? Or can I only use it for a limited time period?
是的, you can receive nitrous oxide at any point during your labor and there is no limit to how long you use the nitrous oxide.
- 我怎么知道什么时候使用它?
It is recommended that you 开始 breathing in the mask or straw as soon as you feel the contraction 开始. You should continue breathing in the mask until the worse pain of the contraction 开始s to subside.
- What are the side effects for me?
Nitrous oxide can make you dizzy or nauseated.
- 这对我有危险吗?
The use of inhaled nitrous oxide is a common option for labor pain management in several countries.
- 这对我的孩子有危险吗?
Many studies have reported no harm to the baby.
- How do I know if I cannot have it?
Nitrous oxide may not be safe if you have a vitamin B12 deficiency or if your oxygen level is low for another reason. It is also not recommended if you are unable to hold the mask on your face by yourself, or if your baby’s heart tracing is worrisome.
- Does it really help with pain?
Nitrous oxide does not completely relieve the pain of labor but decreases your awareness of the pain. 换句话说, 你还是能感觉到一些疼痛, but it does not bother you as much and becomes more bearable.
- Can I still have an epidural after if it does not work?
You can change your mind and choose to have an epidural, as long as there is not another reason an epidural may not be right for you at that time. If you decide to take IV narcotics, you must wait 2 hours after IV administration to 开始 nitrous oxide.
