1 MEDICAL NITROUS OXIDE (Nitrous Oxide, Ph. Eur. 100%) CONSUMER MEDICINE INFORMATION WHAT IS IN THIS LEAFLET Please read this leaflet carefully before you receive this treatment. It provides a summary of the information known about your treatment. If you have any questions or are unsure about anything, ask your doctor. All medicines have risks and benefits. Your doctor or dentist has weighed the risks of you using Medical Nitrous Oxide against the benefits they expect it will have for you. If you have any concerns about using Medical Nitrous Oxide, ask your doctor or dentist. Keep this leaflet with you, as you may want to read it again. WHAT IS MEDICAL NITROUS OXIDE USED FOR Medical Nitrous Oxide is used for general anaesthesia or pain relief. It is usually given with another anaesthetic and oxygen during surgery, either via a tube placed down your throat by an anaesthetist, or given with oxygen via a mask by your doctor or dentist. Medical Nitrous Oxide works by causing unconsciousness (deep sleep) before and during surgery and by relieving pain for certain procedures. Your doctor may prescribe Medical Nitrous Oxide for another purpose. Ask your doctor, if you have any questions about why Medical Nitrous Oxide has been prescribed for you. This medicine is available only with a doctor's prescription. BEFORE YOU TAKE MEDICAL NITROUS OXIDE DO NOT TAKE MEDICAL NITROUS OXIDE IF: 1. You have a condition where air is entrapped within your body and it might expand when given Medical Nitrous Oxide (e.g. bowel obstruction, blocked middle ear, following a recent dive). Ask your doctor for full details of these conditions. 2. You have been using it for a prolonged period without proper monitoring of your blood. 3. You are intoxicated. _YOU MUST TELL YOUR DOCTOR OR DENTIST IF:_ 1. You are allergic to any other medicines, foods, dyes or preservatives. 2. You have had a reaction to Medical Nitrous Oxide or any other general anaesthetic or pain relief medication in the past. 3. You have had a general anaesthetic or surgery in t Leia o documento completo
Version 5.00 1 AUSTRALIAN PRODUCT INFORMATION - COREGAS MEDICAL NITROUS OXIDE GAS (NITROUS OXIDE 100% V/V) 1 NAME OF THE MEDICINE Nitrous Oxide. 2 QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE COMPOSITION Nitrous oxide 100% v/v 3 PHARMACEUTICAL FORM Compressed medical gas (for medicinal use only) 4 CLINICAL PARTICULARS 4.1 THERAPEUTIC INDICATIONS Nitrous oxide is used: 1. General Anaesthesia: when an inhalation anaesthetic is required, the administration is usually accompanied by simultaneous administration of a volatile agent such as halothane, ethrane, etc. 2. Analgesia with Oxygen: - relief from severe pain, usually in emergency situations, by inhalation with oxygen. - useful also in short-term procedures which inevitably involve pain, such as wound and burn dressing, wound debridement and suturing. Administration with oxygen. - in dental work to provide short-term analgesia for tooth extraction and other brief procedures. Administration with oxygen. 3. Others: - occasionally as an insufflating agent in laparoscopy. - in cryosurgery as a refrigerant. 4.2 DOSE AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION Where the clinical indication is the production of general anaesthesia it should be noted that: - in the average adult, nitrous oxide is administered by inhalation through a suitable anaesthetic apparatus in concentrations up to 80% with oxygen as the balance. - as people age, there is a steady reduction in the indices of cardiac and respiratory function evidenced by a lowering of cardiac output and in lung ventilation and perfusion. In addition there is an increase in dead space in the lung which increases minute ventilation. Cerebral blood flow is reduced by up to 30%. The result of these changes mean that susceptibility to anaesthesia is increased. Nitrous oxide is, therefore, more useful in the elderly and the depressant effects of added agents are reduced. - there are no essential differences in clinical indications between the adult and child. - nitrous oxide is strongly recommended in the anaesthesia of neonates. - in obstetrical anaest Leia o documento completo
