Nitrous oxide contamination in dental surgeries using relative analgesia.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The concentrations of nitrous oxide were determined at various positions in four dental surgeries in which nitrous oxide sedation was used without scavenging. Contamination was present in all the surgeries, the greatest concentration being recorded at the dentist's nose and the least in the peripheral air. The reception area adjoining the surgeries was found also to be contaminated by nitrous oxide.

متن کاملNitrous Oxide, From the Operating Room to the Emergency Department
Nitrous oxide is a gas inhalation agent that has a long history of administration in procedures requiring analgesia and sedation. Although use may be limited by patient condition, patient comorbidities, and appropriate scavenging equipment, nitrous is a proven and safe tool for use in many health care settings-from the dental office to the operating room to the emergency department.
