nitrous oxide and Anemia, Megaloblastic

nitrous oxide has been researched along with Anemia, Megaloblastic in 24 studies

Nitrous Oxide: Nitrogen oxide (N2O). A colorless, odorless gas that is used as an anesthetic and analgesic. High concentrations cause a narcotic effect and may replace oxygen, causing death by asphyxia. It is also used as a food aerosol in the preparation of whipping cream.
dinitrogen oxide : A nitrogen oxide consisting of linear unsymmetrical molecules with formula N2O. While it is the most used gaseous anaesthetic in the world, its major commercial use, due to its solubility under pressure in vegetable fats combined with its non-toxicity in low concentrations, is as an aerosol spray propellant and aerating agent for canisters of 'whipped' cream.

Anemia, Megaloblastic: A disorder characterized by the presence of ANEMIA, abnormally large red blood cells (megalocytes or macrocytes), and MEGALOBLASTS.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
" Neutropenia following prolonged inhalation of nitrous oxide seems to be caused by a different mechanism, in which the cobalt in B12 is oxidised to the trivalent form by chemical reaction with nitrous oxide."4.76Anesthesia and the leucocyte. ( Nunn, JF, 1979)
"After exposure to nitrous oxide, an infant with unrecognized cobalamin deficiency developed neurologic deterioration and pancytopenia."3.70Acute neurologic decompensation in an infant with cobalamin deficiency exposed to nitrous oxide. ( Felmet, K; Hayflick, SJ; Robins, B; Tilford, D, 2000)
"As vitamin B12 deficiency is caused by malabsorption in the gastrointestinal tract, oral supplementation is insufficient."2.41[Subacute combined degeneration of the spinal cord: easy diagnosis, effective treatment]. ( Franke, CL; Jongen, JC; Koehler, PJ, 2001)
