Use of fixed 50% nitrous oxide-oxygen mixture for lumbar punctures in pediatric patients.
To the Editors: A lumbar puncture is one of the most commonly painful procedures performed in pediatric medical practice. Despite evidence to suggest that analgesia and sedation are both efficacious and safe in children, clinical practices do not adhere to these findings. A study carried out in 1993 by Quinn et al showed that 95% of children who had a lumbar puncture performed in a pediatric em...
متن کاملFixed 50% nitrous oxide oxygen mixture for painful procedures: A French survey.
OBJECTIVE Although the equimolecular mixture of oxygen and nitrous oxide (EMONO) seems a good choice to relieve procedure-related pain in children, it has not been accepted everywhere. In France, the rapid spread of its use has elicited suspicion and doubts regarding its safety. To assess the use and the safety of this gas mixture in the pediatric settings in France, we conducted a national sur...
متن کاملOxygen concentrators performance with nitrous oxide at 50:50 volume.
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Few investigations have addressed the safety of oxygen from concentrators for use in anesthesia in association with nitrous oxide. This study evaluated the percent of oxygen from a concentrator in association with nitrous oxide in a semi-closed rebreathing circuit. METHODS Adult patients undergoing low risk surgery were randomly allocated into two groups, receiving a...
متن کاملA comparison of Entonox and nitrous oxide for inhalation sedation in dentistry.
It has been shown that inhalation o f nitrons oxide/oxy gen mixtures in a concentration greater than 50 per cent may produce general anaesthesia. Inhalation sedation in dentistry, carried out by a single operator/sedationist, re quires that no loss o f consciousness must occur. It has been suggested, therefore, that the use of Entonox/oxygen mixtures which ensure that the inhaled nitrous oxid...
متن کاملHypoxaemia after inhalation of 50% nitrous oxide and oxygen.
We have investigated, in volunteers, the effect of inhaling 50% nitrous oxide in oxygen on subsequent oxygenation. Subjects breathed either 50% nitrous oxide in oxygen or 50% nitrogen in oxygen during hyperventilation and normal ventilation. Arterial oxygen saturation and end-expired oxygen concentrations were lower after 50% nitrous oxide in oxygen than after the other mixture with both patter...
