Inhalational analgesia in labour: facemask or mouthpiece

P F Dolan et al. Lancet. .

Abstract

A mouthpiece offered as an alternative to a facemask increased the acceptance of inhalational analgesia during labour from 76% to 96% of 50 patients. 92% of those patients offered a choice of a mask or mouthpiece would use the same device in another labour compared with only 64% of those offered only a facemask.
