Medical Nitrous Oxide
Medical grade gas used for therapeutic treatment in humans and animals
N2O
This medical grade gas is used by a range of healthcare professionals and organisations including doctors, dentists, nurses, veterinarians, anaesthetists, hospitals and day surgeries. Medical Nitrous Oxide is classified as a Schedule 4 drug, so can be supplied only by, or on the written prescription of, an authorised practitioner. Coregas therefore requires your valid licence number prior to supplying this gas.
Uses
Indicated in general anaesthesia: when an inhalation anaesthetic is required, the administration is usually accompanied by simultaneous administration of a volatile agent such as halothane, ethane, etc. When combined with oxygen, nitrous oxide is a reliable analgesic for relief from severe pain, usually in emergency situations, by inhalation with oxygen. Useful also in short-term procedures which inevitably involve pain, such as wound and burn dressing, wound debridement and suturing. Administration with oxygen. In dental work to provide short-term analgesia for tooth extraction and other brief procedures. Administration with oxygen. In cryosurgery as a refrigerant. Healthcare professionals and organisations that use Medical Nitrous Oxide include doctors, dentists, nurses, veterinarians, anaesthetists, hospitals and day surgeries.

CAUTION: Cylinder use in proximity to MRI
Steel cylinders contain a substantial quantity of ferromagnetic material and MUST NOT be used in proximity to MRIs under any circumstances.
When medical gas cylinders are intended for use in a room in which magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is being performed, the cylinders and associated equipment must be considered to potentially contain ferromagnetic materials.
Coregas recommends that the standard safety protocols for determining what materials may be brought into proximity with an MRI are applied to all gas cylinders and equipment.
