What anesthetic alternatives exist for nitrous oxide if a person was allergic to it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Many: Allergic reactions to nitrous oxide are extremely rare. However, if a true allergy exists, there are many alternatives depending on the indication for anesthesia. Sedation can be achieved with intravenous agents and if general anesthesia is required, volatile anesthetics can be used.
