nitrous oxide - laughing gas

Principles of inhalation sedation with nitrous oxide:
Objectives and methods of performing the procedure:
Sedation is a state of limited level of consciousness induced by pharmacological methods, it allows the patient to maintain reactions appropriate to physical stimuli or verbal commands. It consists in administering a mixture of gases: oxygen and nitrous oxide through a mask placed on the nose.
The patient under sedation is relaxed, does not feel fear, despite the fact that he has limited orientation and reduced ability to concentrate, cooperates with the dentist performing the procedure. After the procedure, the patient returns to full consciousness very quickly.
After the procedure, the patient returns to full consciousness very quickly.
Recommendations before inhalation sedation:
- Do not eat solid food for a minimum of 3 hours prior to sedation
- Do not consume fluids for a minimum of 3 hours prior to sedation
Alternative treatments:
- Psychotherapy
- Natural medicine methods that allow you to reduce the feeling of stress and pain, i.e. acupressure, reflexology, aromatherapy.
- Oral pharmacological sedation – e.g. in the form of tablets or syrups
- Computer local anesthesia The Wand
- General anesthesia – full anesthesia
Indications for inhalation sedation with nitrous oxide:
- Strong fear of dental treatment
- Increased gag reflex
- Nervous hyperactivity
- All diagnostic and therapeutic procedures with anticipated unpleasant patient sensations
Contraindications to inhalation sedation with nitrous oxide:
- Catarrh of the upper respiratory tract
- Problems with the patency of the nasal airway (runny nose, pharyngitis, otitis, sinusitis)
- Tonsillar hyperplasia and related oral respiratory track
- Eating a meal immediately before the procedure
- Lung diseases (e.g. bronchiectasis, emphysema), cystic fibrosis
- Drug addiction, alcoholism, psychosis
- Congenital heart defect
- Multiple sclerosis, porphyria, myasthenia gravis

- Retrograde amnesia/delusions of experiences that did not happen
Behavior during the procedure:
- The nose mask must be tight and remain in place throughout the sedation period
- Do not breathe through your mouth – only breathe through your nose
- Do not speak during sedation (nitrous oxide is removed through the mouth, which reduces its potency)
