  2. NMDA receptor antagonist - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NMDA_receptor_antagonist

    NMDA receptor antagonists induce a state called dissociative anesthesia, marked by catalepsy, amnesia, and analgesia. [1] Ketamine is a favored anesthetic for emergency patients with unknown medical history and in the treatment of burn victims because it depresses breathing and circulation less than other anesthetics.

  3. Nitrous oxide (medication) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nitrous_oxide_(medication)

    Today the nitrous oxide is administered in hospitals by a relative analgesia machine, which includes several improvements such as flowmeters and constant-flow regulators, an anaesthetic vaporiser, a medical ventilator, and a scavenger system, and delivers a precisely dosed and breath-actuated flow of nitrous oxide mixed with oxygen. [citation ...

  4. Ketamine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ketamine

    In 1–5 minutes after inducing anesthesia by rapid intravenous injection of ketamine, its plasma concentration reaches as high as 60–110 μM. [129] [130] When the anesthesia was maintained using nitrous oxide together with continuous injection of ketamine, the ketamine concentration stabilized at approximately 9.3 μM. [129]

  5. Dental anesthesia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dental_anesthesia

    Nitrous oxide (N 2 O), also known as "laughing gas", easily crosses the alveoli of the lung and is dissolved into the passing blood, where it travels to the brain, leaving a dissociated and euphoric feeling in most cases. Nitrous oxide is used in combination with oxygen.

    Anesthetic risk factors include the use of volatile anesthetics, nitrous oxide (N 2 O), opioids, and longer duration of anesthesia. Patient factors that confer increased risk for PONV include female gender, obesity , age less than 16 years, past history of motion sickness or chemotherapy-induced nausea, high levels of preoperative anxiety , and ...

  8. Olney's lesions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olney's_lesions

    Olney's lesions, also known as NMDA receptor antagonist neurotoxicity (NAT), is a form of brain damage consisting of selective death of neurons but not glia, observed in restricted brain regions of rats and certain other animal models exposed to large quantities of psychoactive drugs that inhibit the normal operation of the neuronal NMDA receptor.

    Each substance should be taken at the peak of the previous substance to maximize the synergistic effects. Ketamine can be re-dosed as needed to extend the trip. The result is a highly visual and euphoric experience with periods of deep dissociation. LSD: Mescaline: Stella trip LSD: Nitrous oxide: Gasid
