Poisoning by anaesthetics and therapeutic gases - what does this mean
Anaesthetic and therapeutic gas poisoning occurs when a person is exposed to higher than normal concentrations of anaesthetics or therapeutic gases, such as nitrous oxide, carbon dioxide, or halothane. inhaling these gases can lead to serious health effects, such as dizziness, nausea, vomiting, confusion, loss of consciousness, and even death.
What happens during the disease - poisoning by anaesthetics and therapeutic gases
Poisoning by anaesthetics and therapeutic gases is a result of the direct inhalation of these substances, which contain volatile organic compounds that bind to receptors in the central nervous system and cause a range of symptoms including dizziness, confusion, nausea, and even coma. these symptoms can be further exacerbated if the patient is exposed to high concentrations of the gas, or if they have an underlying medical condition that makes them more susceptible to the effects of the gas.
