New Options for Pain Relief

Jupiter Medical Center is putting the power of pain management in your hands. We now offer nitrous oxide, commonly referred to as “laughing gas,” for pain relief during labor. The mixture of nitrous gas and oxygen is inhaled through a mask, which allows delivering moms to breathe it in when they feel the need. As the only labor pain relief method that is cleared through the lungs, the effects of nitrous oxide are gone within a breath or two. It has no known effects on the baby and can be used in conjunction with other methods of pain management, including epidurals.
