P110: Nitrous Oxide and Neuroinflammation

Nitrous oxide was an anaesthetic gas that was used for many years. There were many anaesthetic drugs in operations  with many side effects. Nitrous oxide had some side effects too. But it was a safe gas in many times. In hospital personnel who worked in operating rooms exposure to this gas was important. The objective of this study was the introduction of nitrous oxide and neurologic side ...

The Nitrous Oxide Test

The diagnosis of a left-to-right shunt generally depends upon the demonstration of significant differences in oxygen content among the venae cavae, the chambers of the right heart, and the pulmonary artery. The inconclusive or misleading results sometimes obtained with this method have stimulated interest in improved technics. The wide arteriovenous difference that normally exists during the in...

Nitrous Oxide Genotoxicity

1258 June 2013 NITROUS oxide has long been known to be an impotent and unpredictable human anesthetic.1 In this issue of the journal, Chen et al.2 report that nitrous oxide in clinical use is a potent and predictable human genotoxin. The authors observe that maintenance of anesthesia with 70% nitrous oxide and sevoflurane in patients undergoing colorectal surgery doubles the incidence of DNA da...

Inactivation by Nitrous Oxide

Myelo-cytotoxicity of extended nitrous oxide (N,O) inhalation was described almost forty years ago and then incidentally applied already with temporary success for suppressing leukemia. In 1948 the accompanying megaloblastic maturation arrest was explained by inactivation of the methylcobalamin coenzyme and subsequent folate deficiency. We studied the anti-leukemic effect of N, O on a transplan...
