Gas Introduction
Nitrous oxide, also known as laughing gas, is an inorganic substance with the chemical formula N2O. It is a hazardous chemical that is colorless and sweet smelling. It is an oxidant that can support combustion under certain conditions, but is stable at room temperature, has a slight anesthetic effect, and can make people laugh.
Nitrous oxide has been used as an inhaled anesthetic in medicine for a long time and is rarely used anymore. Inhaling a mixture of nitrous oxide and air can cause suffocation when the oxygen concentration is very low; Inhaling a mixture of 80% nitrous oxide and oxygen causes deep anesthesia, and generally has no aftereffects after awakening.
Nitrous oxide, commonly known as “laughing gas”, is an anesthetic gas that was widely used in medical surgeries. But when “laughing gas” enters the bloodstream, it can cause hypoxia in the body, and long-term use may lead to high blood pressure, fainting, and even heart attacks. In addition, long-term exposure to such gases can also cause anemia and damage to the central nervous system.
