“…effect was increased in comparison with lavender. Though a study have shown that the duration of the Entonex effect in the body is 2 minutes [22] . But this difference is probably due to the effects of Entonex on the central nervous system.…”

“…The results showed that Entonex can reduce the intensity of labor pain significantly compared to baseline at all stages of labor. A study by Donder et al on 200 pregnant women found that Entonex alone can reduce the severity of labor pain [22] . Also, a study by Pasha et al on 98 pregnant women showed that Entonex gas can reduce the intensity of labor pain at all stages of labor [17] .…”

“…Therefore Entonex gas can reduce the pain intensity more than lavender. Entonex gas affects the central nervous system and increases endorphins, causing analgesia, relaxation, and euphoria [22] . The half-life of lavender in the body seems to be lower, and its effect has not been sustained for a long time, but slowly with increase in dose of Entonex gas in the body, its…”

Introduction: Pain is one of the main and unavoidable stages of labor. The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of entonex gas and aromatherapy with lavender on the severity of labor pain. Methods:The present study was a double-blind randomized controlled trial with random allocation on 60 nuliparos women in Sanandaj-Kurdistan Be'sat hospital. The intervention was performed in two groups of 30 in active phase of labor. In the Entonox group, Entonux gas was smelled by the mother in contractions. In the lavender group, aromatherapy with lavender was performed in contractions. The severity of pain was measured in dilatations of 4-5, 6-7, 8-9, and 10 cm before and after the intervention with vas instrument. Results:The severity of pain before and after intervention was significantly different in each group (p<0.05). The severity of pain was significant between the two groups in dilatations of 8-9 and 10 cm. After intervention, the mean pain severity in the Entonox group was 6.8 in dilatations of 8-9 cm and 8.3 in the lavender group (p<0.05). Also it was 7.7 in dilatation of 10 cm in Entonox group and 8.9 in lavender group (p<0.05). Entonux gas significantly increased maternal complications including mouth dryness, dizziness, nausea, and headache (p<0.05). Conclusion:The present study showed that Entonox gas and aromatherapy with lavender both can reduce the severity of labor pain. But the effect of Entonux gas is greater in reducing labor pain than lavender.

“…An earlier systematic review did not provide clear data to support the efficacy of inhaled nitrous oxide for pain relief during labor (Rosen, 2002). A recent randomized control trial with 200 pregnant women who received a pre-prepared mixture of 50% nitrous oxide and 50% oxygen or received oxygen only found significantly lesser pain perception in the nitrous oxide group (p < .001; Naddoni, Balakundi, & Assainar, 2016). An observational study (N ¼ 126) to assess pain perception with nitrous oxide use reported a 56.2% reduction of pain among Taylor Houser, DNP, CNM, is a certified nurse-midwife at Baylor University Medical Center in Dallas, TX.…”
