Nitrous oxide treatment
Nitrous oxide is also called laughing gas in English and that is indeed what it does.
Anxiety about the examination is significantly reduced and nitrous oxide works to reduce stress, fear and the perception of pain. When inhaled, a person feels relaxed and at ease.
Nitrous oxide is ideal for managing stress in older children, but it cannot deal with truly deep panic fear and stress. It is also not suitable for the youngest children who cannot breathe through their noses all the time and not through their mouths.
What are the benefits of nitrous oxide treatment?
- The patient remains conscious throughout the entire time, just more relaxed.
- The effects begin quickly and also wear off quickly.
- No dietary restrictions or additional anesthesiological procedures are required.
- The gas is inhaled continuously through a nasal mask, and its concentration can be smoothly adjusted individually according to the patient’s needs.
