Could someone paragraph this? It's very wordy.
Please note that I have moved this page to Nitrous oxide 50%-oxygen 50%, which is a better description (albeit wordier) but allows for more international scope to the article, especially given that Entonox is a registered trademark of British Oxygen Company, and it is known as Nitronox is places such as the US.

I accept the point about the title, its just taken from one of my main sources. I see the argument for Nitrous oxide in anaesthesia, but goven the importance of oxygen to this particular product, I wonder if we should focus on something like Nitrous oxide and oxygen mix or Nitrous oxide and oxygen blend? That said, i think both articles might be valuable, with my suggestions making a daughter article to a more in depth nitrous in anesthesia one. What is everyone else's thoughts?

Yesterday I went into hospital suffering with what was either food poisoning or gastroenteritis, I think they decided gastroenteritis in the end because my husband had the same food as I did and didn't suffer afterwards. I was in severe pain in the central part of my tummy, stomach and back, felt like something was attacking the inside of my belly button too, so they gave me entonox to help ease the pain. After about 20 seconds I felt very light headed, pressure building in my head, my right hand and leg began to tingle. I started to panic and took the mouth peice out of my mouth. I was going delirious, then suddenly I went blind and my eyes flashing. The paramedic said my eyes had gone up which was why I couldn't see. The effects lasted about 20-30 seconds, then subsided. The pain came back so I decided to attempt at the entonox again, thinking perhaps I wasn't breathing it in right. Again my eyes rolled into my head, my right side went tingly, then my whole body started to convulse. I was fully conscious at the time so it was a very frightning experience and I was upset and confused as to what happened and why. I'm now listed as hypersensitive to entonox. 81.187.6.173 ( talk) 15:20, 28 May 2012 (UTC)
Nitrous oxide (medication) is not what this article is about. This is an article about Entonox(R). As we have decided not to move the article as suggested above, we should expand the article to cover nitrous oxide properly and make Entonox a subsection of it. As it is now, it gives the impression that the only medical presentation of nitrous oxide is the 50/50 mix (common in dental offices and labor and delivery suites) while pure nitrous oxide administered through (and mixed with other gases by) an anesthesia machine in operating rooms is a probably the most common presentation.

There is a move discussion in progress on Talk:Lithium (medication) which affects this page. Please participate on that page and not in this talk page section. Thank you. — RMCD bot 23:15, 28 January 2019 (UTC)
The section titled Administration seems currently only about self-administered use of the. Should it also include some discussion of how it is administered by medical personnel? Or does "administration" only mean self-administered in medical parlance? Pete unseth ( talk) 20:23, 20 August 2022 (UTC)
Agree. The problem is that this article is 90% about Entonox and not about nitrous oxide (medication) which has other ways to be administered, such as inspired via endotracheal tube while the patient is mechanically ventilated. MedGME ( talk) 14:23, 19 December 2022 (UTC)
