氧化亚氮是牙科中最常用的吸入麻醉剂，也常用于急救中心和门诊手术中心。当单独使用时，它不能可靠地产生全身麻醉，但在深度镇静/全身麻醉技术中，它可以与其他吸入和/或静脉药物联合使用。然而，作为一种单一的药物，它具有令人印象深刻的安全性，并且非常适合为焦虑的牙科患者提供最小和适度的镇静。为了充分了解一氧化二氮的药理学、生理学影响和正确使用，必须将其与其他吸入麻醉剂进行比较。这篇CE文章的目的是提供一般吸入麻醉剂的概述，并在比较中更具体地说明一氧化二氮。
Nitrous oxide is the most commonly used inhalation anesthetic in dentistry and is commonly used in emergency centers and ambulatory surgery centers as well. When used alone, it is incapable of producing general anesthesia reliably, but it may be combined with other inhalation and/or intravenous agents in deep sedative/general anesthetic techniques. However, as a single agent, it has impressive safety and is excellent for providing minimal and moderate sedation for apprehensive dental patients. To gain a full appreciation of the pharmacology, physiologic influences, and proper use of nitrous oxide, one must compare it with other inhalation anesthetics. The purpose of this CE article is to provide an overview of inhalation anesthetics in general and to address nitrous oxide more specifically in comparison.
