nitrous oxide and Otitis Media with Effusion

nitrous oxide has been researched along with Otitis Media with Effusion in 15 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.

Otitis Media with Effusion: Inflammation of the middle ear with a clear pale yellow-colored transudate.

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"This study was designed to explore the effect of nitrous oxide (N2O) on the amount of middle ear effusion."7.69General anesthesia with and without nitrous oxide (N2O) and the weight of middle ear effusion in children undergoing adenoidectomy and tympanostomy. ( Alho, OP; Koivunen, P; Luotonen, J; Partanen, A; Uhari, M, 1996)
"Using nitrous oxide, we examined the gas exchange function through the middle ear mucosa in ears with otitis media with effusion (OME) in children, and found the function to be impaired in 50% of them."4.80Pathophysiological and therapeutic considerations of otitis media with effusion from viewpoint of middle ear ventilation. ( Honjo, I; Ishijima, K; Sudo, M; Takahashi, H; Tanabe, M, 1998)
"To assess the validity of tympanometry as a test for the presence of middle ear effusion using a 'gold-standard' of myringotomy performed after a nitrous oxide-free general anaesthetic, we performed a prospective validity study comparing tympanometry traces obtained immediately pre-operatively from patients undergoing grommet insertion, with the otomicroscopic findings at myringotomy."3.75An assessment of the validity of tympanometry compared to myringotomy performed under a nitrous oxide-free general anaesthetic.

"Gas exchange function through the middle ear mucosa was assessed using nitrous oxide (N2O) in patients with otitis media with effusion (OME), as well as in normal ears during elective surgery for unrelated disorders."3.69Gas exchange function of the middle ear in patients with otitis media with effusion.
