I works at the same hospital for 6 years and the new chief have banned the use of nitrous oxide. He said that don't have any scientific reason to continuous use of nitrous oxide. I want to know if you agree (or not) and why.

I use routinaly nitrous oxide.
Regarding the reason that your chief apologizes, i think there arent valid scientific reason to elimanate NO.
The only reason that i can view is to increase the consuption of alogenates.
The NO is a valid, throuw-years confirmed  anaesthesiological tool.
The question is why dont use it ????? and not why use it ????

HI
We in India are using Nitrous Oxide routinely as a part of balanced anesthesia and also as supplementation of pathy regional blocks without any problem. offcoarse we avoid N2O in some specific patients with specific contraindications to Nitrous, but otherwise we use it routinely.
