nitrous oxide and Emphysema

nitrous oxide has been researched along with Emphysema in 5 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.

Emphysema: A pathological accumulation of air in tissues or organs.

"We induced extensive subcutaneous emphysema in swine and measured oxygen and carbon dioxide tensions in systemic arterial and mixed venous blood; cardiac output; intravascular, airway, and pre-sternal subcutaneous pressures; total pulmonary-thoracic static compliance; and thoracic girth before and after a 45 minute period of breathing 75 per cent nitrous oxide in oxygen."5.26Nitrous oxide administration in the presence of subcutaneous emphysema: an experimental model. ( Haldeman, LW; Munson, ES; Poulton, TJ, 1982)
