ammonia oxide

Anyone used nitrous oxide as a pain alternative during labor? My doctor suggested it today as an option for me because I'm not a fan of the epidural because I go completely numb and can't feel anything. I'm wondering if any of you have any experience with it.

My89-year-old father just endured a series of excruciating catheterization procedures (he also has an infection) with no pain med. Nitrous oxide is a great tool for dental procedures; why can't it be used more widely? It seems that Great Britain uses it more; why do U.S. doctors continue to ignore the suffering of their patients?

My question is can they use nitrous oxide for such a procedure? How safe is it? What are the other forms of anesthesia commonly used on toddlers at the dentist?

My son started taking NO ten days ago. Shortly thereafter he began to experience "events." I witnessed two Grand Mal Seizures in one day. ER test results were negative. He has now been told he is epileptic and will be taking medication the rest of his life. I truly believe he has been misdiagnosed. My research indicates a link between excessive NO in the system and seizures. However, finding a neurologist who is open to the idea has been difficult.

thanks. Have had electroversion 5x in 7yrs. Dr. put me on magnesium oxide 400mg every other day. What is its purpose/fuction and do I still need it. Last e.

Im a dental assistant who normally works around nitrous oxide daily, i do know that n2o can cause miscarriage and/or birth defects... When I announced my pregnancy to the 3 doctors I work with, 2 of them told me get out of restorative and go polish teeth (im certified for this too) or go upfront and help out.. one doctor (the main one i work with) told me she needed a doctor note stating i cannot work w/ n2o or take xrays.. my note said "duration of pregnancy"..

I'm 6 weeks pregnant and I work in a paint department. I mix colors and clean up paint pretty much. Since I've worked there we have always used glass cleaner to clean the paint off the desk and our hands. I didnt know this until today but the cleaner we use has ammonia in it. I've been using it every day for a few months to get the paint off of my hands. Could it have hurt my baby?

We discovered that my husband had an episode of Encephalopathy, which is high ammonia in the blood. But by the time we had his blood checked his levels were right smack in the middle of the range. Doctor said he was fine. So my question is can this ammonia gone untreated continue to rise and lower on its own. Because he has days that he seems fine and then days when he is not with me completely. He does not eat much as his taste buds are totally out of wack. Most foods taste very salty.

I recently found out I had high ammonia, it was 66, I am taking lactalose and it is is now normal. All my blood work is within normal ranges on my liver function test and I also had a sonogram, have a mild fatty liver. Was wondering what could have caused this. I do drink a few beers a night.

Patients with liver disease are unable to process or detoxify ammonia so that ammonia levels can reach dangerously high levels. This is coupled by increased ammonia production of colonic bacteria, especially if one is constipated or has an irregular bowel movement. High protein intake can also lead to an incresed ammonia production. I suggest you talk about these possibilities with your doctors.

I am assuming you have cirrhosis? (I have a list of cirrhotics but I know it doesn't include everyone with cirrhosis here). Hepatic encephalopathy (HE) and brain fog are two different conditions. "Brain fog" has nothing to do with ammonia levels. Most ammonia in the body forms when protein is broken down by bacteria in the intestines. The liver normally converts ammonia into urea, which is then eliminated in urine.

Ammonia odor can be associated with H. pylori. Ammonia can also be associated with urine and fecal material and not due to H. pylori.

Yes it does. High levels of ammonia cause hepatic encephalopathy which in turn can cause confusion, sleepiness and forgetfulness. There are medications to help lower those levels. Speak to your hep doc.

Please can some one tell me why does my urine smell like ammonia its so strong i am embarrassed i need pads galore to change for i urine at time some lilte small quantity here and there like when i laugh or get up or move fast??i am diabetic type 2 .i have lots of chronic,s illness ?i told me Doctor and she said it was because i did not drank enough maybe ?But i am drinking a lot and more since i was told that it could the reason that my urine smell like ammonia.

Which is why patients with overt HE are advised to avoid red meats which during digestion create a lot of ammonia. Other sources of serum ammonia are the kidneys and skeletal muscle. Normally, ammonia is metabolized by the liver. When the liver function is impaired, shunting of blood around the liver, and increased muscle wasting all lead to increased serum ammonia levels in cirrhotic patients. But ammonia isn't the only toxin involved in HE.

sorry i hav no idea on ammonia etc i am wanting to know more now. why do we get ammonia build up?does every1 with hep c hav to get tested regulary?

Does anyone on here use dye thats not ammonia free? I get worried at times bcuss wehn I died my hair 2 weeks ago I didnt use ammonia free. I used the garnier frutis hair dye. But I was outside wehn i was dying it. But some girls say use the ammonia free dye. Was I still safe? & are u not supposed to put it on your scalp?

Make sure it definitely is ammonia free, though! Ammonia has been linked to causing blindness in unborn children. I use CHI color. Good luck to u. I'm so glad u asked this question. There's so many women that don't know the consequence.
