Pediatric Sedation Methods
Laughing gas (nitrous oxide sedation)
Nitrous oxide, commonly known as laughing gas, is a sedation method well suited to children who feel mildly anxious or patients who are sensitive to pain. Because normal daily activities are possible immediately after the gas inhalation ends, it is the most preferred method for achieving a simple sedative effect.
