Nitrous oxide physiological effects

The physiological effects of carbonyl sulphide are very similar to those of nitrous oxide. [Pg.271]

It is important to note that there have been no harmful physiological effects observed in infants bom to mothers who are administered nitrous oxide and oxygen during labor itself, as the gas is quickly metabolized. However, a few long-term studies have shown a possible link between heavy nitrous oxide use during labor and... [Pg.382]

Once before, Davy, son of a poor woodcarver of Penzance, had achieved overnight fame by his discovery of the physiological effects of laughing gas—that colorless nitrous oxide first obtained by Priestley in 1776 and later described by Berzelius to his teacher Afzelius. Distinguished people in all walks of life had come to London to inhale the gas which had raised Davy s pulse upwards of twenty strokes and made him dance about the laboratory as a madman. Even the poet Coleridge was among those who came, but admitted that Davy s epic poem on the deliverance of the Israelites from Egypt had interested him more. [Pg.99]

The subjective, psychomotor, and physiological properties of subanesthetic concentrations of xenon have been studied in 10 volunteers (3). Xenon sedation was well tolerated and was not associated with any adverse physiological effects. In particular, there was no nausea or vomiting. It was preferred to sedation with nitrous oxide and was subjectively dissimilar (xenon was more pleasant). [Pg.3702]

A second proteinaceous fraction, nitric oxide reductase, containing a bound c-type cytochrome converts nitric oxide to nitrous oxide (Matsubara and Iwasaki, 1971 Payne et al., 1971 Cox and Payne, 1973). The enzyme is soluble in Pseudomonas perfectomarinus (Cox and Payne, 1973), but is particulate in Alcaligenes faecalis and Pseudomonas denitrificans (Matsubara and Iwasaki, 1971 Miyata et al., 1969). Epr studies indicate no metal involvement but the formation of a different heme nitric oxide complex during release of nitrous oxide (Payne et al., 1971). The physiological electron donors are not known. FADHa, reduced phenazine methosulphate, and reduced viologen dyes have been found to be effective (Thauer et al., 1977). [Pg.135]

Nitrous oxide s primary physiological effect is central nervous system (CNS) depression. At high concentrations, anesthetic levels can be obtained, but the low potency of nitrous oxide necessitates concomitant administration of other depressant drugs. Ni-... [Pg.520]
