Entonox: Unique Self-Administered Analgesic
1. Self-Administration
Distinctive Characteristics:
- Entonox is a self-administered drug, allowing patients to control their own dosage.
- Applicable to both adults and children, provided the child can operate the equipment correctly.
2. Safety in Self-Administration
Safe Usage Guidelines:
- Self-administration ensures safety, as the drug induces drowsiness and decreases dosage intake as drowsiness sets in.
- Children can use Entonox safely, as long as they can operate the delivery system independently.
3. Priming Button Caution
Importance of Proper Usage:
- Never use the priming button to administer Entonox; it should always be self-administered.
- Details on the priming button will be covered later in the course.
