ABSTRACT
Nitrous oxide has a long history of successful use in inhalational anaesthesia. Nevertheless questions are being raised over possible deleterious effects which may complicate its routine use. As more potent volatile agents have become available, compressed air/oxygen mixtures are gradually replacing nitrous oxide as a carrier gas in inhalational anaesthesia. We recommend that compressed air be installed on all anaesthetic machines and that in future, machines be designed so as to make it impossible to administer both nitrous oxide and air simultaneously.
