THE CARDIOVASCULAR EFFECTS OF NITROUS OXIDE

Leucopenic effects of prolonged nitrous oxide treatment.

Studies of the leucopenic effects of nitrous oxide were made in rodents, with and without surgical wounds. The animals were exposed to one of the following atmospheres: (1) air; (2) 25 per cent nitrous oxide; (3) 60 per cent (rats) or 40 per cent (mice) nitrous oxide; the oxygen percentage was maintained at 21 per cent in each case. A leucopenic effect and suppression of the normal leucocytosis...

Nitrous oxide and cardiovascular outcome: perspective from the POISE trial.

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 ...

Cardiovascular effects of epinephrine under sedation with nitrous oxide, propofol, or midazolam.

OBJECTIVE During implant surgery, a large amount of local anesthetics containing epinephrine are often required, and the resulting cardiovascular effects of administered epinephrine are not negligible. On the other hand, sedation has wide applications in implant surgery. Nitrous oxide, propofol, or midazolam are commonly used as sedative drugs, and each has also its own cardiovascular effects. ...

Cardiovascular effects of xenon and nitrous oxide in patients during fentanyl-midazolam anaesthesia.

Xenon anaesthesia appears to have minimal haemodynamic effects. The purpose of this randomised prospective study was to compare the cardiovascular effects of xenon and nitrous oxide in patients with known ischaemic heart disease. In 20 patients who were due to undergo coronary artery bypass graft surgery, 30 min following induction of anaesthesia with fentanyl 30 microg x kg(-1) and midazolam 0...
