Background and Purpose: Cesarean Section (CS) is a Common obstetric procedure and hence, a lowrisk, appropriate and cost-effective anesthetic method is of importance for both mother and neonate. As almost all cesarean sections in the two hospitals of Torbate Heidarryyeh are performed under general anesthesia due to concern about the complications of Spinal anesthesia, the side effects of the two methods are studied in this research.
Methods and Materials: 37 pregnant gravid 1-2 women of 18-30 years old with signal-fetus pregnancy and no other complication who experienced Spinal cesarean section were compared with.52 women who experienced cesarean section under general anesthesia. The side effects of each method were recorded for 24 hours after the surgery.
Results: Mean first-minute Apgar in Spinal Cesarean and ceosarean section by general anesthesia were 8.8±0.3 and 8.3±0.7 respectively which means a statistically significant difference. Mean systolic and diastolic blood pressures were significant. Perfect satisfaction in the Spinal subjects was 64.9% and, in the other group was 5.8%.
Conclusion: High satisfaction rate, the subject's cooperation in controlling the uterus and prevention of atony, good cooperation in lactation, low headache recurrence in 2.7% of the cases, and low cost are the advantages of the spinal anesthesia and therefore it is recommended for cesarean section Candidates.

Background and purpose: Labor pain is considered as one of the most beautiful phenomenon, causing anxiety in mothers and in most cases a reason for elective cesarean section. Analgesics such as entonox are now common in pain relief and this study is intended to answer the patients on the possible complications and degree of pain relief using this procedure.
Methods and Materials: In order to determine the effect of entonox on labor pain, 35 pregnant women (16-35 years old age; gravid 1-7) were objectively selected from among women referring to 9th Dey Maternity Hospital in Torbat Heidariyyeh, Iran. In this cross-sectional descriptive study, mean pain score (3 contractions) was determined through a visual pain scale two times: once before entonox and once after nitroxide inhalation.
Results: 1st and 5th minute APGAR were reported to be 8.32±0.7 and 9.92±0.7 respectively. Noatony was observed in the subjects. Pain score dropped to 7.1±1.01 upon nitroxide inhalation. 60% of the patients expressed low satisfaction and only 8.4% expressed perfect satisfaction of the entonox method.
Conclusion: It seems that the treatment staff is to provide realistic expectations for mothers and the expression of pain relief is preferred to analgesia in this regard.
