Completely disappointing progress! We are already paying out that £ and more in harm to women & babies. And of course the human & lifelong cost of harm is incalculable. We need to do much more & NOW!

This is the way. www.asahq.org/standards-an...

Therefore, the ASA recommends the deactivation of central piped N2O delivery systems and the transition to portable N2O supply systems for all clinical use. The ASA also recommends that hospitals planned for new construction or major remodeling of an existing operating room should be built without the central piped N2O delivery system.
