abstract：BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES:Many patients experience moderate to severe postoperative pain. Nitrous oxide (N₂O) exerts analgesia by inhibition of N-methyl-D-aspartate receptors. Ketamine, another N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor antagonist, reduces postoperative opioid consumption and pain. A similar effect of N₂O is plausi...
