18.7 7.0 Fast b. Tissues with medium blood flow such as skeletal muscles exhibit intermediate rates of rise in partial pressure. Tissues with slow blood flow such as adipose tissues exhibit a very slow rise in partial pressure. Therefore, in the brain, the anesthetic concentration approaches the arterial blood concentration much faster than other tissues. Physical and chemical properties.
Nitrous oxide is an odorless and non-explosive gas.
O produced an analgesic effect equivalent to morphine's analgesia. Weak anesthetic agent. Rapid induction due to low solubility. 2 O was used as a sole anesthetic agent, which may result in hypoxia. 2 O does not relax skeletal muscles.
