Nitrous oxide and the inhalation anesthetics.
Nitrous oxide is the most commonly used inhalation anesthetic in dentistry and is commonly used in emergency centers and ambulatory surgery centers as well. When used alone, it is incapable of producing general anesthesia reliably, but it may be combined with other inhalation and/or intravenous agents in deep sedative/general anesthetic techniques. However, as a single agent, it has impressive ...
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...
متن کاملPneumomediastinum Secondary to Barotrauma after Recreational Nitrous Oxide Inhalation
We present a case of a seventeen-year-old patient, admitted in the care of the surgical team following inhalation of nitrous oxide at high pressure, leading to extensive pneumomediastinum and surgical emphysema. We discuss the subsequent investigations and management for this patient. In the absence of history of airway injury and respiratory problems including asthma and with no oesophageal pe...
متن کاملRapid inhalation induction with halothane-nitrous oxide for myasthenic patients.
Rapid inhalation induction (RII) was successfully employed for patients without myopathy. Inhalatory agents can be used for anaesthetic induction of myasthenics, avoiding the use of neuromuscular blocking agents. We studied the use of RII in 15 myasthenics (MG) and in 15 normal subjects (nMG), measuring induction time (TI), cardiorespiratory effects, complications, and evaluated the patient's r...
متن کاملUK emissions of the greenhouse gas nitrous oxide.
Signatories of the Kyoto Protocol are obliged to submit annual accounts of their anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions, which include nitrous oxide (N(2)O). Emissions from the sectors industry (3.8 Gg), energy (14.4 Gg), agriculture (86.8 Gg), wastewater (4.4 Gg), land use, land-use change and forestry (2.1 Gg) can be calculated by multiplying activity data (i.e. amount of fertilizer applied, ...
