NCIt definition : An equimolar gas mixture of oxygen (O2) and nitrous oxide (N2O) with potential analgesic
activity. Upon inhalation, 50% oxygen/50% nitrous oxide premix produces rapidly reversible
analgesia. The exact mechanism through which nitrous oxide exerts its analgesic effect
has yet to be fully elucidated, but it appears to be associated with the neuronal
release of endogenous opioid peptides.;
