Where Can Nitrous Oxide Sedation Be Used?
Dentistry
Thanks to its calming effect, the use of nitrous oxide is ideal for anxious patients. Patients, regardless of age, are relieved of their fears and feel detached from the treatment process. A sense of warmth and calm spreads throughout the body, significantly enhancing the patient's overall comfort.
Nitrous oxide inhalation sedation eases treatment for the patient, suppressing gag and swallowing reflexes. All natural protective reflexes, such as independent breathing, remain intact, and the patient stays fully conscious and can communicate with the medical team at any time.
The dosage of nitrous oxide can be adjusted individually based on the patient’s needs, minimizing the risk of side effects.
A short preparation and observation phase, along with the absence of side effects, allows patients to attend appointments unaccompanied and leave the practice independently without restrictions.
Gynecology
Nitrous oxide is highly popular in gynecology due to its calming and relaxing effects. Patients remain communicative and responsive throughout the sedation process, but their perception of pain is reduced, allowing them to feel more at ease during treatment.
The use of nitrous oxide is particularly beneficial for procedures such as the insertion of intrauterine devices (IUDs) or copper chains, ensuring maximum comfort for the patient. The strong relaxing effect of nitrous oxide prevents uncontrolled movements, significantly facilitating the physician's work.
Women can resume their normal activities immediately after the appointment, as nitrous oxide has no lingering side effects and its sedative effect only lasts during the procedure.
A short preparation and observation phase, coupled with the absence of side effects, enables women to attend appointments unaccompanied and leave the practice independently and without restrictions.
Childbirth (Delivery Rooms)
Thanks to the calming effect of nitrous oxide, the expectant mother can relax during childbirth and release her fears.
The analgesic effect sets in after just a few breaths, alleviating labor pains.
By communicating with the midwife, the mother-to-be maintains control over the intensity of the sedation as well as her body and mind.
Since nitrous oxide has very few side effects and acts gently, it can be combined with other pain relief methods.
The natural birthing process and the duration of labor are not negatively affected by nitrous oxide inhalation.
Modern studies show that mild nitrous oxide sedation has no adverse effects on the mother or the baby.
The guaranteed oxygen flow of at least 50% ensures high oxygen saturation levels in the blood during the birthing process.
Aesthetic/Plastic Surgery
An increasing number of clinics are utilizing nitrous oxide sedation in facial aesthetic surgery to reduce anxiety, pain, and discomfort during procedures.
For patients, nitrous oxide induces a sense of relaxation and lightness, significantly diminishing pain perception.
Nitrous oxide sedation is often used in aesthetic surgery for wrinkle correction procedures with botulinum toxin, wrinkle correction with hyaluronic acid, and laser treatments.
Endoscopic Procedures
Endoscopic procedures often cause significant discomfort for patients, with many experiencing anxiety and nervousness beforehand.
The use of nitrous oxide sedation, delivered through an appropriate gas supply system, helps patients relax, feel calmer, reduce pain, and significantly improve overall comfort during the procedure.
Hair Transplantation
Hair transplantation is often considered a highly painful procedure. However, with nitrous oxide sedation, pain sensations can be significantly reduced, allowing the patient to feel comfortable and relaxed during the procedure.
Dermatology
In dermatology, nitrous oxide sedation is an excellent tool for laser treatments, minor surgeries, or cosmetic procedures, helping to reduce pain and relax the patient.
The deeply relaxing effect of N₂O benefits the patient by creating a sense of detachment from the procedure, while also aiding the practitioner by preventing uncontrolled movements during treatment.
In certain cases, local anesthesia via injection may still be necessary.
Psychotherapy
The number of people suffering from depression is increasing worldwide each year, affecting both men and women. Symptoms of depression include reduced self-esteem and confidence, fear of the future, and suicidal thoughts.
Various medications are used to treat depression, but not all have proven effective, and patients may respond differently to them. Research has shown that symptoms of severe, treatment-resistant depression can be alleviated through nitrous oxide inhalation sedation. Studies have demonstrated that inhaling nitrous oxide releases biogenic amines and endogenous hormones (primary catecholamines), such as norepinephrine and dopamine, which promote a positive and uplifted mood in the medium term (up to 14 days).
The sensation of warmth and calm induced by nitrous oxide allows patients to relax and detach from their symptoms. Even a small concentration of nitrous oxide can relieve symptoms and is often as effective as stronger sedation with higher concentrations. Thus, nitrous oxide treatment is a successful and gentle method for managing depression and alleviating its symptoms without the limitations of side effects. Studies indicate that patients with depression often reduce or discontinue the use of psychotropic medications following nitrous oxide therapy.
