What Is Pro-Nox™?

If you feel anxious about an upcoming medical procedure or worry about discomfort, Pro-Nox™ might be your answer.

Pro-Nox is a patient-controlled inhaled analgesia system that combines 50% nitrous oxide with 50% oxygen. Nitrous oxide has been used for decades to provide pain relief during medical procedures and to help patients feel calmer.

Pro-Nox provides fast-acting pain relief and anxiety relief during procedures without putting you completely to sleep. You remain awake, responsive, and able to communicate with your provider. 

Pro-Nox is self-administered, so you decide when to inhale it, giving you greater control over your care.

What issues can Pro-Nox address?

Pro-Nox isn’t a treatment for an underlying medical condition. Instead, it can provide nitrous oxide pain relief and help ease anxiety associated with certain in-office procedures. 

It may be helpful if you:

• Feel nervous about having a medical procedure
• Have concerns about pain or discomfort
• Experience anxiety in medical settings
• Want pain relief during medical procedures while remaining conscious
• Prefer a self-administered option for in-office pain management

Your provider can explain whether Pro-Nox is appropriate for your procedure and individual needs.

What are the benefits of Pro-Nox?

Pro-Nox offers several potential benefits, including:

• Fast-acting pain relief
• Anxiety relief during procedures
• Minimal recovery time

Pro-Nox puts you in control, and that in itself can give you more peace of mind.

How does Pro-Nox work?

Pro-Nox delivers nitrous oxide and oxygen through a mouthpiece or mask. When you feel anxious or uncomfortable, you breathe through the device. The nitrous oxide works quickly, providing fast-acting pain relief while helping reduce anxiety.

As a self-administered nitrous oxide system, you control when you use Pro-Nox. When you stop inhaling, its effects wear off quickly. This means you can receive pain and anxiety relief during your procedure without the prolonged recovery often associated with deeper sedation.

Is Pro-Nox safe?

Pro-Nox can be a safe pain relief option when used according to medical guidelines and under the supervision of a trained healthcare professional at Atlanta Obstetrics & Gynecology Associates. It may serve as a conscious sedation alternative for some patients. 

Your provider reviews your health history and medications to determine whether nitrous oxide for pain management is appropriate for you.
