I was wondering if you were trying to limit exposure to nitrous oxide? I administered it yesterday to a patient for around 45 minutes. I knew it was contraindicated in pregnancy but thought since we have a scavenging system I would be fine administering it. So now I am worried about the baby being exposed to it. Anyone have any experiences?
Re: Anyone in the dental field?
I've administered with all my pregnancies except one office where the scavenger system was older than me and I refused to go near it pregnant or not.
I know in my current office they say I shouldn't but I don't mind because I don't donit a lot and the scavenger system is up or date. If I ever felt dizzy or weird from administering I probably wouldn't do it.
Also remember to remind pt to breathe threw their nose not their mouth
