The Role of Nitrous Oxide in Minor Pediatric Procedures in the Emergency Department: A Systematic Review
2024, Journal of Pediatric SurgeryA randomized controlled study in reducing procedural pain and anxiety using high concentration nitrous oxide
2017, American Journal of Emergency MedicineCitation Excerpt :They noted a clinically and statistically significant decrease in pain scores during the procedure in children > 8 years old while using 30% N2O [12]. In children less than 8 years old, a higher concentration of 50% N2O was needed to achieve a decrease in pain scores [7,12]. Another study by Kanagasundaram, demonstrated moderate sedation levels without airway compromise, and reported a decrease in behavioral distress score during the painful phase of the procedure with HC-N2O (> 50%).
Pediatric procedural sedation and analgesia
2013, Emergency Medicine Clinics of North AmericaCritical Procedures in Pediatric Emergency Medicine
2013, Emergency Medicine Clinics of North AmericaCitation Excerpt :In addition to sedative and analgesic medications, nitrous oxide can be used in light sedation cases. Nitrous oxide is usually mixed with 50% oxygen and provides mild analgesia, sedation, amnesia, and anxiolysis.34–36 While using nitrous oxide, patients are able to maintain their airway without assistance and remain hemodynamically stable.
