The safety of nitrous oxide: glass half-full or half-empty?

Systematisches ReviewSystematisches ReviewPubMedFachartikel17. November 2024PMID: 38816332 DOI

Abstract

A systematic review of clinical trials confirms that including nitrous oxide in the gas mixture for general anaesthesia has minor short-term benefits and does not impact most patient safety outcomes. However, no risk-benefit analysis of nitrous oxide should ignore its known environmental effects. If continued nitrous oxide use is supported, strategies to minimise and monitor the contribution of medical nitrous oxide to global warming are vital.
