  • Title: Use of Entonox in the ambulance service.
    Author: Baskett PJ.
    Journal: Br Med J; 1970 Apr 04; 2(5700):41-3. PubMed ID: 5440577.
    Abstract:
    An analgesic mixture of nitrous oxide and oxygen (Entonox) has been used in nine ambulances in Gloucestershire for self-administration by patients in severe pain. Over a period of three and a half months 66 patients have been treated. In all cases the pain was wholly or partially relieved, and in no instance was the patient's condition worsened. No undesirable side-effects attributable to Entonox were produced. It is recommended that other ambulance authorities should consider the use of Entonox in this context.
