Nitronox
What Is Nitronox?
Commonly referred to as “laughing gas”, Nitronox is a safe and effective anxiolytic and analgesic agent mixed with oxygen. At Price Vision Group, we use Nitronox during Morpheus8 treatments to help make you feel more comfortable.
How does the nitrous and oxygen analgesia system work?
The nitrous oxide and oxygen analgesia system delivers a safe mixture of nitrous oxide and oxygen which is inhaled through a mouthpiece or mask, providing you control over self-administration. Your doctor will ask you to breathe normally through your mouth, and within a few short minutes you should start to feel the effects of the gas mixture. The effects of nitrous oxide wear off within 5-10 minutes after the last inhalation of the N2O/O2 mixture.
Will this Nitronox put me to sleep?
No. The nitrous oxide and oxygen ratio is insufficient to put you to sleep. You will be able to hear and respond to any requests or directions the doctors may have.
Can I drive home after using Nitronox (nitrous oxide and oxygen)?
The effects of Nitronox (nitrous oxide and oxygen) on their own are completely out of your system within a few minutes. It is reasonable that you can safely go home about 10 minutes after ceasing the use of nitrous oxide and oxygen.
Does Nitronox (nitrous oxide and oxygen) eliminate pain?
Nitronox (nitrous oxide and oxygen) does not eliminate pain. This is important to understand and to set your expectations. This will also not replace an anesthetic often used to numb locally. Nitronox (nitrous oxide and oxygen) is intended to take the edge off, help you relax, make you feel more comfortable, and reduce anxiety.
