The correct option is A True

Anaesthesia gas:

  • Medical gases are gases used in medical procedures. Some are used for treatment, some for anesthesia, and some for driving medical devices and tools.
  • There are 7 kinds of gases commonly used: Oxygen,Nitrogen,Nitrousoxide,Argon,Helium,Carbondioxide,andCompressedair.
  • Inhalation of a small amount of Nitrousoxide has an anesthetic and analgesic effect, but a large amount of inhalation can suffocate people.
  • Medically, a mixture of Nitrousoxide and Oxygen is used as an anesthetic agent, and anesthesia is inhaled by the patient through a closed manner or a ventilator.

Thus, the given statement is True. I.e., A mixture of Oxygen and nitrogen oxide is used as a medical anaesthesia gas.
