The Administration of Nitrous Oxide as a Preliminary to Ether Anæsthesia

Nitrous Oxide and Oxygen Anæsthesia for Major Surgery

Nitrous oxide-induced slow and delta oscillations

OBJECTIVES Switching from maintenance of general anesthesia with an ether anesthetic to maintenance with high-dose (concentration >50% and total gas flow rate >4 liters per minute) nitrous oxide is a common practice used to facilitate emergence from general anesthesia. The transition from the ether anesthetic to nitrous oxide is associated with a switch in the putative mechanisms and sites of 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 ...

DFT Study of Nitrous Oxide Adsorption on the Surface of Pt-Decorated Graphene

In the present study we search potential of Pt-decorated graphene (PtG) as a new nanostructure adsorbent for nitrous oxide (N2O) using density functional theory (DFT). After fully relaxation of different possible orientations of N2O-PtG complex, we distinguished two optimized configurations for this system; 1- terminal N-side of gas is oriented towards Pt so that the molec...

Some aspects of the clinical pharmacology of nitrous oxide.

NIvaotrs OXIDE has been employed in anaesthesia since the beginning of the art itself. 1 This anaesthetic agent, therefore, must be considered to have stood the test of time and there can surely be few anaesthetists who would find themselves questioning its safety. As it is employed in modern anaesthetic practice, nitrous oxide is generally regarded as an adjuvant to balanced anaesthesia with f...
