Hazards of nitrous oxide exposure in healthcare personnel.

Source

Mayo Clinic, Rochester, Minnesota, USA.

Abstract

Nitrous oxide, a commonly used agent in the dental and anesthesia practice, carries serious risks to healthcare providers. Complications from its exposure can range from hematological abnormalities and neurological deficits to increased risk of spontaneous abortions in women. A concentrated effort by all anesthesia personnel is necessary to prevent the adverse effects associated with the use of this agent.
