nitrous oxide and Intraocular Pressure

nitrous oxide has been researched along with Intraocular Pressure in 30 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.

Intraocular Pressure: The pressure of the fluids in the eye.

Trichloroethylene in nitrous oxide and oxygen. ( Al-Abrak, MH; Samuel, JR, 1975)
