Nitrous Oxide

The Medicvent Double Mask captures excess gas and leaking gas to prevent it from escaping into the work environment.

Nitrous Oxide

Nitrous oxide provides effective, practical, and well-established pain relief during childbirth, and is highly appreciated by midwives and expectant mothers. In Sweden, it is the most common method of pain relief.

However, it is crucial to minimize leaking nitrous oxide, as this presents a serious problem for the work environment. Staff may experience headaches, nausea, fatigue, and even face the risk of spontaneous abortions. Furthermore, nitrous oxide is a harmful greenhouse gas, so minimizing leakage benefits everyone.

During childbirth, we recommend the Double Mask with a neck strap. The mask stays close to the mother and can capture exhaled air when not in use. The mother can also easily access the mask when the next contraction approaches. Some deliveries combine the Double Mask with a chin mask for even more effective scavenging.

Unlike a single mask, the Double Mask has both an inner and outer mask. The gap between them draws in leaking nitrous oxide.
