Entonox: Ananaesthetic gas ( 50% nitrous oxide, 50 % oxygen) is generally safe and commonly used, for light sedation during minor procedures, no known to have complications when used properly, (i.e. not abused) . Having asthma isn't an absolute contraindication to using the drug, however you want to mention that to the doctor / anesthesiologist providing It, best wishes
