problems with memory, understanding and judgement psychological problems, which can range from mild depression or anxiety, to confusion and dementiaWhat does this mean for women giving birth in hospital?
Where the use of Entonox has been suspended, women are offered other forms of pain relief and the option of giving birth at alternative hospitals where gas and air is still available. “We continue to work closely with our women to ensure they can make the best alternative pain relief choices for them and their baby and support them through what we appreciate is a really difficult time.”The Royal College of Midwives , whose health and safety representatives can legally undertake an inspection of their members’ workplaces, said the problems are being caused by poor ventilation.
Hospitals are investigating how to reintroduce gas and air safely. One way units can make labour wards safer for staff is by fitting them with ventilation or machinery to remove the waste gas.
