At the termination of nitrous oxide sedation, the rapid movement of large amounts of nitrous oxide from the circulation into the lungs may dilute the oxygen in the lungs, resulting in diffusion hypoxia. To prevent this, the clinician would administer 100% oxygen for the amount of time needed to clear the nitrous oxide from the lungs.
