Safe and predictable analgesia is required for the potentially painful or uncomfortable procedures often undertaken in an emergency department. The characteristics of an ideal analgesic agent are safety, predictability, non-invasive delivery, freedom from side effects, simplicity of use, and a rapid onset and offset. Newer approaches have threatened the widespread use of nitrous oxide, but despite its long history this simple gas still has much to offer. "I am sure the air in heaven must be this wonder-working gas of delight". Robert Southey, Poet (1774 to 1843)
急诊科经常进行的潜在痛苦或不适的操作需要安全且可预测的镇痛。理想镇痛剂的特点是安全、可预测、非侵入性给药、无副作用、使用简单、起效快且作用消失快。新方法对一氧化二氮的广泛使用构成了威胁,但尽管其历史悠久,这种简单的气体仍有很多优点。“我确信天堂里的空气一定是这种带来奇妙愉悦的气体”。诗人罗伯特·骚塞(1774年至1843年)
