Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
May support nitrous oxide in radiology procedures; hypothesis-generating and should not yet change practice.
Nitrous oxide is an ideal agent for use not only in the interventional radiology suite, but throughout the radiology department for pain relief and anxiety reduction. It is safe, easy to use, and effective in a multitude of clinical settings. During a one year period nitrous oxide analgesia was used in 300 patients with adequate analgesia and/or anxiety reduction in over 95 percent.
