Medical Applications
This source covers evaporative emissions of nitrous oxide (N2O) that arise from medical applications (anaesthetic use, analgesic use and veterinary use). N2O is used during anaesthesia for two reasons: a) as an anaesthetic and analgesic and as b) a carrier gas for volatile fluorinated hydrocarbon anaesthetics such as isoflurane, sevoflurane and desflurane.
