Anesthesia FAQs

Learn more about the anesthesia gases and services we offer.

What are anesthetic gases?

Anesthetic gases are substances that induce controlled unconsciousness by depressing the central nervous system, blocking pain signals, and ensuring patient sedation and immobility during procedures.

How do industrial gases contribute to anesthesia?

Industrial gases like nitrous oxide and halogenated agents are purified and delivered via precision equipment (e.g., vaporizers, flowmeters) to ensure safe, controlled administration.

What are the benefits of using anesthetic gases?

Anesthetic gases offer rapid induction and recovery for improved patient throughput, titratable depth of anesthesia, and reduced postoperative complications compared to intravenous agents.

How is nitrous oxide specifically used in anesthesia?

Nitrous oxide is combined with oxygen (typically 50:50) for dental sedation or used as a carrier gas to strengthen the effects of halogenated anesthetic agents (e.g., halothane, isoflurane or sevoflurane).

Why is sevoflurane preferred for pediatric anesthesia?

Sevoflurane is preferred for pediatric induction because of its non-irritating odor and rapid induction properties, while its low blood solubility means it’s absorbed and eliminated quickly.

What technical considerations are important when using anesthetic gases?

Proper scavenging systems are important to capture waste gases and limit occupational exposure, while calibrated flowmeters and vaporizers ensure accurate gas mixtures and delivery.

What exposure limits should facilities observe for anesthetic gases?

NIOSH recommends the exposure limits of ≤25 ppm for nitrous oxide and ≤2 ppm for halogenated agents. This small window requires regular leak checks and maintenance of anesthesia machines and circuits.
