RATIONALIZED NITROUS OXIDE-OXYGEN ANÆSTHESIA

Nitrous Oxide and Oxygen Anæsthesia for Major Surgery

Transcutaneous oxygen monitoring of patients undergoing nitrous oxide-oxygen sedation

The objective of this study was to assess the changes in transcutaneous oxygen tension in pediatric patients undergoing nitrous oxide-oxygen analgesia. A total of 19 healthy patients, ranging in age from 3 to 19 years with a mean age of 9.8 years, were included. Transcutaneous oxygen monitoring was performed; following stabilization, baseline readings were obtained. Oxygen was delivered at 3 I/...

The Administration of Nitrous Oxide as a Preliminary to Ether Anæsthesia

feel that an apology was required for bringing up such a hackneyed question. All the unpleasant sensations experienced during the early stages of ether anaesthesia may be avoided by giving a small quantity of nitrous oxide first. First of all, I wish to express my regret that chloroform is still so largely used, when we have a far safer and an equally satisfactory anaesthetic in ether. As far a...

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 ...

Nitrous oxide administration using commonly available oxygen therapy devices.

Administration of nitrous oxide is useful for providing sedation and analgesia. The therapeutic range for nitrous oxide is 20-30%. Several oxygen treatment devices have been used for administering nitrous oxide, but little is known about the concentrations of nitrous oxide and oxygen delivered to the trachea. We have studied this, using an analogue lung model, with several oxygen therapy device...
