Quantifying changes in ambient nitrous oxide levels with catalytic cracking in the labour ward
Year: 2022
Type: article
Abstract: Background: Nitrous oxide (N2O), supplied as a 50:50 mix with oxygen (O2), is the most common form of labour analgesia in the UK. It is a potent greenhouse gas and contributor to the carbon footprint of the NHS. One option to significantly reduce emissions is by catalytically ‘cracking’ exhaled N2O into oxygen and nitrogen.1
