Effects of Subanesthetic Concentrations of Isoflurane/Nitrous Oxide - 3

November 30, 2015 updated by: University of Chicago

Effects of Subanesthetic Concentrations of Isoflurane/Nitrous Oxide

The purpose of this study is to conduct experiments to examine subjective and reinforcing effects of nitrous oxide. Mood altering and psychomotor effects will be tested on non-drug abusers and preference procedures will be used to assess reinforcing effects. To evaluate the acute and residual effects of subanesthetic concentrations of isoflurane/nitrous oxide combinations in healthy volunteers.
