5.0 out of 5 stars Second Edition Goes Beyond Expectations, December 4, 2003

This review is from: Handbook of Nitrous Oxide and Oxygen Sedation, 2e (Paperback)

The second edition of this useful text goes beyond expectations. There is an increased emphasis on safety using minimal levels of nitrous oxide during most dental care (less than 50%), as well as the current 'standard of care' use of titration procedure model. Includes and relates the ASA Physical Classification System.

Every dental professional using nitrous oxide should purchase this text so as to update themselves in many areas.

This review is from: Handbook of Nitrous Oxide and Oxygen Sedation, 3e (Paperback)

I am dentist in Romania.Considering that the nitrous oxide machine is something new in private dental clinic in Romania there is no information about how to use this machine.
I bought the niotrous oxide system and asked for an anesthesiologyst to come in my office and theach me how to do it.
If you want to start using this system in your office than... this is the book that you should read.Describes indication , contraindication , technique,oversedation , risk management, things that you should know manibulating this gases.
