Concentrations of Nitrous Oxide in Blood, Exhaled Air and Urine After Various Types of Exposure.
Condition(s) studied
Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)
Nitrous Oxide 99 %: Passive exposure to Nitrous Oxide
Nitrous Oxide + Oxygen Gas: Midwifes are exposed through work in a delivery room
Study summary
The study examines the concentrations of nitrous oxide that are achieved in blood, exhaled air, and urine after three different exposures to nitrous oxide:
inhalation of three or four cartridges of nitrous oxide released in a car cabin in a switched-off car, consumption of 100 g of whipped cream in which nitrous oxide is used as a propellant, and exposure through work as a midwife in a delivery room.
The concentrations in blood and exhaled air are measured for up to 1 hour after exposure, and in urine for up to 2 hours after exposure. The concentrations in blood and urine are measued with gas chromatography and mass spectrometry, while the concentration in exhaled air is measured by a sensor using an NDIR sensor (Olythe, France).
Eligibility
Primary outcome measure(s)
- Detection time of Nitrous Oxide in blood — From end of exposure to 1 hour after end of exposure
The time after exposure in which Nitrous Oxide can be detected in blood
