Why is entonox contra-indicated with head injuries?
Entonox, a mixture of nitrous oxide and oxygen, is contraindicated in head injuries primarily due to the risk of increased intracranial pressure. Administering Entonox can lead to the expansion of air or gas within the cranial cavity, potentially exacerbating brain injury or compromising cerebral blood flow. Additionally, it may mask neurological symptoms, making it difficult to assess the severity of the injury. Thus, safer alternatives are recommended for pain management in patients with head trauma.
