You have a patient scheduled for nitrous oxide sedation. You check all the equipment and review the procedure with the patient. You note that the patient seems to have some type of respiratory problem. When you inquire about this, the patient indicates that his asthma has been flaring up. How will this affect the administration of N2O?

Answer:

It could potentially be more difficult for the patient to achieve sedation because asthma constricts the avioli where the blood comes in contact with air in the lungs. If could be beneficial for the patient to use their inhaler to dilate the avioli, which allows for more surface area of the blood coming in contact with air in the lungs.
