It is not in the concentration of ummmmmm PURE N2O which you would find in a bottle of N2O..... of course if you are only breathing N2O you are going to be having a period of hypoxia, dependant on this period of hypoxia will determin the extent of damage to the brain and other systems within the body.

Please remember that hypoxia is caused by the lack of oxygen, not caused by the inhalation of N20.

What else you want to know?
If I remember rightly, you are a Nurse??
This was posted not so much to spell out the effects, but to show people its not a safe, happy gas...
If you have a leak in the lines...

Obviously, I am no medical expert, but after hearing one story, myself and my father decided to look up the complete effects.. and I was shocked in the least... Not something they tell you in the movies...

Usually to that level yes you would think that it would have been an advanced case..... though the pins and needles, extream loss of motor and fine-motor skills does occur in "1st" attacks of MS and is actually one of the most common.
There ya go.. Didn;t know that...
No expert, as I said.. I leave the medical stuff to the experts
