Anesthesia gas or nitrogen oxide, commonly known as laughing gas, was first compounded by Joseph Priestley in 1772. Nitrous oxide (nitrous oxide) N2O is a colorless, odorless, and non-toxic gas but has a funny effect, a non-flammable gas, but can be very effective in the continuity and stability of the flame.

Medical consumption
This gas is used for anesthetics and anesthesia in dentistry since December 1844, in which Horace Wales performed for the first time 12-15 dental practices in Hartford, England. It was initially used as an analgesic denture, but later it was mainly used in a wide range of surgical procedures for anesthesia and analgesia, and today it is used in medicine to induce and continue anesthesia. It is also used with low levels of analgesia in gynecological and obstetric surgery and for surgery that does not require complete anesthetic in the patient.
The precise mechanism of nitrous oxide action is unknown in anesthetizing and anesthetic cases, but its effects have been established at the site of pain centers in the brain and spinal cord. It is believed that the gases cause drowsiness and sleep with increasing gamma-aminotubic acid (GABA) levels in the nerve cells.
prohibited usage
The United Nations has banned some of the situations where harmful and dangerous nitrogen oxides are used. For example, in patients who have recently undergone eye surgery, the risk of a bubble of gas may increase with the presence of nitrous oxide gas, and this gas will help to develop it and its continuity.
Nitrogen oxide can cause an increase in intracranial pressure, so it should not be used in cases of head injury. Also, it should never be used in cases where the air is trapped in the body because it can be very dangerous. The other items listed below are listed:
Pneumothorax
Abdominal distension
Suspicious bowel obstruction
Embolism Bolus
Middle ear method
Immediately after a dive
Maxillo and facial injuries,
Disturbance in consciousness,
Poisoning
When nitrous oxide is used for more than 24 hours, or repeatedly, for at least 4 consecutive days, it should be used under clinical supervision of the hematologist, as this may result in imbalance and may also lead to a dramatic decrease The amount of vitamin B12 is susceptible to people.
Environmental responsibility
Occupational safety
In the UK, the maximum exposure to nitric oxide is 100ppm in 8 hours, although this depends on (TWA). Exposure to this gas above this level can have adverse effects on health. In case of exposure to high concentration of this gas in long periods, the probability of its effect on the fertility and fetal health of pregnant women is also discussed. However, any effect on the normal rate of use in long-term surgeries has also been ruled out, but it is best to be followed by anesthetized and approved anesthetists.
Greenhouse Effect
The environmental effects of nitrous oxide are very intense (about 298 times that of carbon dioxide gas to the heating of the earth), but the amount of nitrogen oxide produced in the atmosphere is very small due to its production and presence in the atmosphere. And has only a very limited role in adding to the greenhouse effect.
Of the total greenhouse gases, only 5% of it is nitrogen oxide, of which only 1% of nitrogen oxide is nitric oxide, so in other words, the total nitrogen oxide used in medicine is only 0.05% They are responsible for the effects of greenhouse gases.
