nitrous oxide and Sensitivity and Specificity

nitrous oxide has been researched along with Sensitivity and Specificity in 46 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.

Sensitivity and Specificity: Binary classification measures to assess test results. Sensitivity or recall rate is the proportion of true positives. Specificity is the probability of correctly determining the absence of a condition. (From Last, Dictionary of Epidemiology, 2d ed)

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"When sevoflurane concentration was reduced during N(2)O administration, both BIS and Entropy rose despite maintenance of anesthetic depth, indicating a variable concentration effect between volatiles and N(2)O."2.72The effect of addition of nitrous oxide to a sevoflurane anesthetic on BIS, PSI, and entropy. ( Miguel, RV; Smith, RA; Soto, RG; Zaccaria, AL, 2006)
" The study verified the 2 previously published BIS/N2O investigations showing no correlation between N2O dosage up to 70% and BIS."2.70Bispectral EEG index monitoring of high-dose nitrous oxide and low-dose sevoflurane sedation. ( Ganzberg, S; Hall, DL; Rashid, R; Weaver, J; Wilson, S, 2002)
"Nitrous oxide is an attractive agent for procedural sedation and analgesia in the emergency department; however, there are limited safety data for high-concentration continuous-flow nitrous oxide (50%-70%) and its use in young children."1.35High-concentration nitrous oxide for procedural sedation in children: adverse events and depth of sedation. ( Babl, FE; Barnett, P; Oakley, E; Seaman, C; Sharwood, LN, 2008)
"Nitrous oxide (N2O) was released from a controlled area source simulator."1.31Field evaluation of a method for estimating gaseous fluxes from area sources using open-path Fourier transform infrared. ( Harris, DB; Hashmonay, RA; Natschke, DF; Thompson, EL; Wagoner, K; Yost, MG, 2001)
