Can you use N2O with anemia, sickel cell anemia, leukemia, hemophilia etc?

A

yes…

79
Q

can you use N2O with hepatic disease?

A

yes

80
Q

can you use N2O if patient has bowel obstructions?

A

NO! postpone till resolved.

81
Q

Does N2O have negative effects o the GI/REPRO system?

no

82
Q

If patient has a suspected or known V12 deficiency - from vegan diet or PKU related, what should you do before giving nitrous?

A

consult with physician

83
Q

If patient has metabolic disease, can you administer N2O?

A
