N2o - definition of N2o in the Medical dictionary - by the Free Online Medical Dictionary, Thesaurus and Encyclopedia.

nitrous /ni·trous/ (ni´trus) pertaining to nitrogen in its lowest valency.

nitrous oxide a gas, N2O, used as a general anesthetic, usually in combination with another agent.

nitrous oxide

A colorless sweet-tasting gas used as a mild anesthetic in dentistry and surgery.

Nitrous oxide

A colorless, sweet-smelling gas used by dentists for mild anesthesia. It is sometimes called laughing gas because it makes some patients feel giddy or silly.

nitrous oxide (N₂O, NOx)

[nī′trəs]

a colorless, odorless, sweet-tasting, weak anesthetic gas used in dentistry, surgery, and childbirth. It must be delivered with oxygen to prevent anoxia. Nitrous oxide alone does not provide enough anesthesia for surgery, for which it is supplemented with other anesthetic agents. It is often given during induction of anesthesia, preceded by the administration of a barbiturate or narcotic. Nitrous oxide is neither explosive nor flammable, and recovery is rapid. Nitrous oxide is not considered suitable for prolonged surgery or for surgery requiring deep muscle relaxation and is not administered to patients with hypoxemia, respiratory disease, or intestinal occlusion.

nitrous [ni´trus]

pertaining to or containing nitrogen in its lowest valence.

nitrous oxide a colorless, odorless gas that is a weak inhalational anesthetic, usually used in combination with a potent halogenated inhalational anesthetic to produce general anesthesia or briefly for dental surgery. Its use as a sole agent requires high concentrations that may cause hypoxia. abuse poses the risk of anoxic death from asphyxia. Popularly known as laughing gas.

nitrous oxide (NO) (nī´tr

s ok´sīd),

n (laughing gas, nitrogen monoxide, nitrogen monoxidum), a gas with a sweet odor and taste used with oxygen as an analgesic and sedative agent for the performance of minor operations. It is sometimes called
laughing gas because it may excite a hilarious delirium preceding insensibility.

nitrous oxide

a gas used by inhalation as a general anesthetic; called also laughing gas.
