Provide an Alternative to Oral Medications with Nitrous Oxide and Oxygen
Nitrous oxide and oxygen (N2O/O2) provides a safe, simple and fast-acting alternative to oral medications for minimal sedation. During the procedure, patients experience reduction in pain and anxiety due to the analgesic and anxiolytic properties of N2O. After the procedure is completed, the effects on the patient wear off within minutes.
Emergency Department procedures where nitrous oxide and oxygen is used include:
- Fracture reduction
- Laceration repair
- Venipuncture
- Wound care
- Joint dislocation treatment
