CONSIDERATIONS TO KNOW ABOUT NITROUS OXIDE CANISTERS

The last proposed mechanism of RBC vasodilation in the presence of nitrite may be the reduction of nitrite to NO by Hb. Brooks very first examined the nitrite Hb interaction in 1937 which perform was later on extended by Doyle in 1981 (Brooks, 1937; Doyle et al., 1981). Nitrite reacts with deoxygenated Hb to form metHb and NO (Brooks, 1937; Doyle e
