Oxygen contamination of the nitrous oxide pipeline supply.
Midogas (CIG Australia) nitrous oxide/oxygen blenders are commonly used in delivery wards in Australia. In this case report we describe an incident where a small hole in the diaphragm of the oxygen failure alarm in a Midogas nitrous oxide/oxygen blender led to retrograde flow of oxygen contaminating the nitrous oxide pipeline supply to the operating theatres and the delivery ward. This caused a...
متن کاملTranscutaneous 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 child’s distress. It may be that effective methods of training can be developed for parental presence during induction of anesthesia. Therefore, in our center, we do not offer parental presence to all patients, but rather respond to each request based on the individual child, parent, and anesthesiologist. We agree that separation anxiety is a major problem after surgery in children. This po...
متن کاملCauses of nitrous oxide contamination in operating rooms.
BACKGROUND To reduce the ambient concentration of waste anesthetic agents, exhaust gas scavenging systems are standard in almost all operating rooms. The incidence of contamination and the factors that may increase the concentrations of ambient anesthetic gases have not been evaluated fully during routine circumstances, however. METHODS Concentrations of nitrous oxide (N2O) in ambient air wer...
متن کاملNitrous oxide contamination in dental surgeries using relative analgesia.
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 o...
