Nitrous Oxide (N2O) is a colorless, odorless inhaled anesthetic that has been used for centuries, particularly in the surgical world. Mechanistically, it can induce euphoria, anxiolysis, and intoxication via NMDA receptor antagonism.During the late twentieth century, nitrous oxide was increasingly used recreationally due its accessibility and perceived benign nature.The modern day slang term for nitrous oxide is “whippets” – which tends to refer to the canisters that contain this agent and are frequently used as whipped cream foaming agents.Despite the legal nature and benign perception of nitrous, frequent use can lead to lasting and permanent neurologic effects. 🧠 How Nitrous Oxide Causes Toxicity Nitrous oxide toxicity results from its ability to oxidize the cobalt moiety in Vitamin-B12, thus leading to a functional B12 deficiency, despite adequate consumption and absorption.1Functioning B12 is needed as a cofactor for methionine synthase.2 This enzyme has two critical roles:The conversion of 5-methyl tetrahydrofolate to tetrahydrofolate; tetrahydrofolate is essential for the synthesis of our DNA.And the conversion of homocysteine to methionine; methionine is needed to maintain the integrity of the myelin sheath of our axons.As a result, nitrous toxicity leads to: a megaloblastic anemia and demyelination of both the dorsal columns and the lateral corticospinal tracts (also known as subacute combined degeneration). 🚶️ Clinical Manifestations of Nitrous Oxide Toxicity These patients will have a combination of both upper and lower motor neuron symptoms due to demyelination of the dorsal columns, lateral corticospinal tracts, and peripheral nerves. As a result, the following may manifest:Dorsal Columns: diminished sense of proprioception, vibration, and fine touch.Lateral Corticospinal Tracts: upgoing plantars, hyperreflexia, weakness of voluntary distal muscle controlPeripheral Nerves: numbness/tingling and weakness in a glove and stocking pattern (symptoms that start initially in the feet and hands that progressively spread proximally to the ankles and wrists)Taking all of this into account, patients may present with difficulty ambulating, positive Romberg sign, dysmetria (difficulty with finger to nose or heel to shin), upgoing Babinski reflex, and decreased strength and sensation in a glove and stocking pattern. 🔍 How to Diagnose Nitrous Oxide Neurotoxicity History is key! As with a lot of pathologies in toxicology, identifying the exposure will expedite management.A thorough neurologic exam will narrow the differential – with a particular focus to fine, peripheral motor and sensory deficits, dysmetria, proprioception, and ability to ambulate.Magnetic resonance imaging of the spine may identify enhancement and/or edema of the dorsal columns, specifically on T2 weight axial imaging – sometimes referred to as the “inverted V” or “inverted rabbit ears appearance.”3Serum B12 concentrations may be normal as the issue is with a functional deficiency as opposed to a vitamin absence. However, patients have elevated concentrations of both homocysteine and methylmalonic acid, both of which are metabolized in the presence of functional B12. 💉 Management of Nitrous Oxide Toxicity First and foremost, cessation of nitrous oxide abuse is crucial to limit/prevent toxicity.While there is no universally agreed upon treatment regimen, supplementation with intramuscular B12 is recommended.Approaches vary from daily or every other day injections until symptoms improve at which point injections can be spaced out to weekly and then monthly.Physical and occupational therapy may be needed depending on the degree of functional debility.It is important to note, that depending of the severity and chronicity of toxicity, some proportion of patients may not fully return to their baseline. 📌 Take-Home Points Though legal and seemingly benign, nitrous oxide abuse can lead to permanent neurologic dysfunction.Nitrous oxide toxicity can affect the dorsal columns, lateral corticospinal tracts, and peripheral nerves.Thus leading to a constellation of both upper and lower motor neuron deficits, particular in a glove and stocking pattern: deficits in proprioception and fine motor skills, positive Romberg, upgoing Babinski, peripheral numbness, tingling, and weakness.Magnetic resonance imaging may identify symmetric high signal intensity in the dorsal columns.Treatment includes B12 supplementation and physical/occupational therapy as needed. 📚 References Long H.

Nitrous oxide, also sometimes known as “laughing gas,” is used in medicine for its sedative and anesthetic (pain prevention) properties. Joseph Priestley, an English chemist, and multidisciplinary scholar, first synthesized nitrous oxide, which has the chemical formula N2O, in 1772. After Priestley's initial discovery of this substance, fellow chemist Humphry Davy performed various tests on the substance, including breathing the gas alone, with oxygen, and with air. Through this testing, it became clear that nitrous oxide had psychogenic properties, including as a sedative and anesthetic (pain-preventer). At first, nitrous oxide was not used for its medicinal properties; it was sold recreationally as “laughing gas.” However, it was established for use in dentistry in the mid-1860s to relieve discomfort from tooth extractions and other painful dental procedures. By the 1880s, it was used for anesthesia during labor and childbirth. Today, nitrous oxide is still used in dentistry, during labor and childbirth, as well as in emergency medicine. When used medicinally, nitrous oxide is delivered with 30-70% oxygen so a person is never breathing in 100% nitrous oxide. Breathing in 100% nitrous oxide displaces oxygen from the lungs and can result in asphyxiation, damage the body's organs, and even death. Nitrous oxide is sometimes misused recreationally for its euphoric, pleasurable and hallucinogenic effects. However, inhaling nitrous oxide outside of medical settings can be dangerous and even deadly, particularly when used heavily. Although it's not common, repeated use of inhalants like nitrous oxide and whippets can also result in addiction, or substance use disorder. (CREDITS)
In this episode, Dr. Charles Schauberger discusses the difficulties clinicians face when identifying and treating inhalant use in pregnant patients, and the findings from his recent article Systematic Review of Obstetric and Child Outcomes of Prenatal Exposure to Inhalants in the Context of a Use Disorder. Dr. Charles Schauberger lives and practices in La Crosse, Wisconsin. He is board-certified in both Obstetrics and Addiction Medicine, and has developed a specialized pregnancy addiction clinic that champions a patient-centered approach to addiction care for pregnant women. While he is mostly retired from obstetrics, he continues to provide addiction care and continues his interest in performing research studies to advance our knowledge of treatment for substances in pregnancy. - Article Link: Systematic Review of Obstetric and Child Outcomes of Prenatal Exposure to Inhalants in the Context of a Use Disorder
Inhalants are a class of drugs which are easy to obtain, inexpensive, and popular, especially among younger teenagers who have difficulty obtaining alcohol and other drugs. They're one of the most widely used classes of drugs among our middle school kids, and even those who are younger will experiment with them. Known for years as “huffing” and now known as “chroming”, sniffing common household products like solvents and cleaners is extremely dangerous. Not surprisingly, there's been an uptick in the practice thanks to the presence of social media. Researchers looked at over one hundred chroming videos, many of them on TikTok, which have garnered over twenty five million views. We need to warn our kids about the dangers of inhalant use, letting them know that dizziness, brain damage, addiction, and even death can occur. Parents, we've been given the high calling and privilege of teaching our kids to steward their bodies to God's glory. Warn them about the dangers of substance abuse.

5.04 Depressants (Types, Intoxication, and Withdrawal) Psychiatry review for the USMLE Step 1 exam. Depressants decrease neuronal activity in the brain. They can work by stimulating GABAergic neurons or binding to opiate receptors. Common GABA-promoting depressants: alcohol, benzodiazepines, barbiturates, and inhalants. Opioid depressants include heroin and morphine derivatives. Alcohol enhances GABA receptor effects, inhibits glutamate activity, and causes intoxication symptoms such as disinhibition, slurred speech, impaired motor control, lethargy, respiratory depression, and coma. Alcohol withdrawal symptoms include anxiety, agitation, insomnia, nausea/vomiting, tremors, autonomic dysfunction, seizures, and can be life-threatening (delirium tremens). Benzodiazepines bind to the benzodiazepine receptor, enhance GABA effects, and cause intoxication symptoms similar to alcohol. Benzodiazepine withdrawal symptoms include anxiety, agitation, insomnia, and seizures, which are treated with a gradual tapering of the drug. Inhalants depress brain activity and cause symptoms such as disinhibition, paranoia, lethargy, dizziness, ataxia, slurred speech, and high doses can lead to respiratory depression and brain damage. Opioids bind to opioid receptors, reduce pain, improve mood, and cause intoxication symptoms like drowsiness, constricted pupils, seizures, and respiratory depression. Opioid overdose can be reversed with naloxone, an opioid receptor antagonist. Opioid withdrawal symptoms include dysphoria, anxiety, weakness, sweating, dilated pupils, and diarrhea, and can be managed with medications like methadone and buprenorphine. Alcohol withdrawal is an emergency and requires prompt treatment with benzodiazepines.
Inhalant Abuse: Understanding the Dangers of Hydrocarbon and Nitrite Inhalation - Hydrocarbon inhalants are substances that are inhaled for their intoxicating effects. They include a wide range of products, such as gasoline, paint thinner, glue, and aerosol sprays. These substances are commonly abused by inhaling the fumes, which can produce a feeling of euphoria and relaxation. However, inhaling hydrocarbon fumes can be extremely dangerous and can lead to a number of negative health effects, including respiratory problems, brain damage, and even death. Additionally, inhaling these substances can also be highly flammable and can lead to fires and explosions. It is important to avoid inhaling hydrocarbon fumes and to seek help if you or someone you know is struggling with addiction to these substances. Additionally we discuss nitrites which are vasodilators and can create a warm rush and sensation of warmth and also can be used as a chemsex drug which can cause anal sphincter relaxation. Side effects can include headaches, hypotension, methaemoglobinaemia and can cause burns if nititres are exposed to a flame.Discussions and comments in our videos are for informational purposes only and should not replace the advice of your medical professional.

Welcome all to IS PHARMACOLOGY DIFFICULT Podcast! I am Dr Radhika Vijay.What do you know about Inhalational dosage forms? What are different devices used to deliver these dosage forms? What are different mechanisms and processes? Lets get to know all these...Firstly waiving a green flag to today's conversation, I will comment on Inhalant, Aerosols and finally Spinhalers. Firstly i will tell you which drugs can be given as Inhalations. Then I will be starting the real detailed talk about Metered Dose Inhalers (MDIs) and different types of devices like rotahalers, turbohalers, Nebulisers and spinhalers. Details about pressured Metered Dose Inhalers (pMDIs) are covered first.Their mechanism, limitations and benefits are thrown light upon, Next I will be shifting the discussion focus towards Nebulisers, where I will be covering definition, mechanism, two types of Nebulisers mainly Jet nebulisers or Pneumatic nebulisers and Ultrasonic nebulisers. I will tell you the principles of these two and in general facts about nebulisers, advantages and disadvantages.Finally covering details about Rotahalers, capsule is Rotacap, its punctured and drug is released, aerosolised. Next i will talk about General facts about aerosolised drug particles, generally 1-5 micro meter in diameter, It will decrease efficacy if particle size is big or too small, so it should be apt in this range. This is how I will cover the basic concepts and mechanism of these Inhalational dosage forms and devices, a little lengthy talk but then right information at right time makes the day a good valuable and truly bright one, Isn't it?

Inhalant Addiction is a relatively common addiction and is often considered a result of poor or unhealthy living, poor nutrition, and a lack of education about how to live a healthy and drug-free life. There is a large variety of inhalants that are used recreationally, and most have many potential side effects that can affect a person's health, but inhalants can also cause an addict to use more and stronger products, such as marijuana or cocaine, to get high.Many people who suffer from inhalant addiction have difficulty controlling their urges to use. It can happen in small doses, but it can also escalate until they become uncontrollable. Inhalants are a wide range of industrial and household chemicals that release a very potent and sometimes toxic vapors into the air through the mouth or nose in a very non-targeted way. These toxic vapors can be inhaled and cause respiratory problems in some individuals, but there are also other problems that can be caused when an individual is exposed to these vapors.Surrounding Areas to Whippets Addiction Treatment in Delray Floridahttps://goo.gl/maps/JLyTDmAo3kuUrsNv7https://goo.gl/maps/GLSXNWgDWWb8n3CG7https://goo.gl/maps/Pfs84VUS1uAqB5AQAhttps://t.co/OQ3sp914uj?amp=1https://t.co/QcAWLAFI2I?amp=1https://t.co/LDZK0srivj?amp=1https://earth.google.com/web/data=Mj8KPQo7CiExQmdLZHkwT2M2UU4zME9WdjZuMnBJYzRRMFRsVEZvNG4SFgoUMEVGMTQzMTUxQjE0RkE4M0EyOUI?pli=1Inhalant addicts do not only abuse inhalants for the purposes of gaining more and stronger substances to get high. The fact that inhalants can be used to cover up bad behavior and to mask feelings of pain makes them an appealing substance to an addict, and over time, many addicts start using these inhalants to escape reality.Inhalants can lead to many other health problems, and addiction is often a sign of depression or anxiety. People with substance addictions may experience mood swings, paranoia, and constant anxiety. They may have short temper tantrums and suffer from low self confidence. Inhalant addiction can also cause heart palpitations, dizziness, coughing, chest pains, and shortness of breath.Transformations Treatment Center14000 S Military Trail, Delray Beach, FL 33484FV9H+MC Delray Beach, Floridahttps://www.transformationstreatment.center/addiction/drug-abuse/Whippets Addiction Treatment DelrayFind Transformations on Google Maps!Videos:https://youtu.be/G25TUGJM9GY https://vimeo.com/445323656Further Information:https://transformationstreatment1.blogspot.com/2020/08/whippets-addiction-in-delray-beach-fl.htmlSupport the show (https://www.google.com/maps?cid=9720609399900639450)
