Inhalation Labor Analgesia Procedure Performed Successfully at TTH.

“We are happy to report that the procedure was performed successfully and this procedure will relieve the pain and assisted patient with labor pain” stated Dr. Dusooma Abdul Razzag, Consultant Anesthesiology
 
In the Maldives, options for pain relief during labor are limited. Tree Top Hospital is the first health care facility to offer Inhalation Labor Analgesia service. Tree Top Hospital provides inhalational analgesia as a safe and less invasive option for labor pain relief.
 
Inhaled Analgesia during labor means inhaling Nitrous oxide to relieve the pain during labor. Nitrous oxide is a tasteless, odorless gas easily administered through a mask that the patient in labor wears over the nose and mouth. Nitrous oxide is an inhalant administered through a mask to help manage pain throughout the body without causing total sensory deprivation.

When compared to epidural or injectable methods of analgesia, nitrous oxide provides pain relief in about a minute which is less waiting time.
 
The main benefits of this pain management procedure are that the patient can move freely and use the mask to control their own pain relief. The laboring patient will also experience a sense of relaxation and relief from their anxiety.
 
The most common and comprehensive method of pain relief available to mothers during labor is an epidural. Recent studies have highlighted that many women want less invasive solutions for labor pain.
