Nitrous oxide training for maternity care assistants

Nitrous oxide is used in various birth centers and obstetrics departments as a form of pain relief during labor. While administration is performed by the (primary care) midwife, maternity care assistants can play a supportive role in the process. To ensure this task is carried out safely and in accordance with the latest guidelines, Vrouw&Zorg Training offers a specialized training program.
