nitrous oxide and Carbon Monoxide Poisoning

nitrous oxide has been researched along with Carbon Monoxide Poisoning in 7 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.

Carbon Monoxide Poisoning: Toxic asphyxiation due to the displacement of oxygen from oxyhemoglobin by carbon monoxide.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"In The Boston Medical and Surgical Journal of 1847 (later to be called The New England Journal of Medicine), Boston chemist George Washington Frost Mellen claimed that inhaled nitrous oxide gas supports human life in the manner of oxygen gas, and he proposed the use of nitrous oxide in resuscitation from drowning and from carbon monoxide poisoning."3.91George Washington Frost Mellen and Resuscitation with Nitrous Oxide in 1847. ( Alston, TA; Stone, ME, 2019)
"Carbon monoxide was detected only when a patient was connected to the circle system."1.29Carbon monoxide within circle systems. ( Harrison, N; Knowles, AC; Welchew, EA, 1996)
