Airnox Anesthesia: A Summary of Use and Reactions Confirmed Directly by Medical Staff

Hello :)

A few days ago at Mutoel,

our medical staff and employees took time to directly check the working principles and operation of the AIRNOX sedation device.

Five people of different genders, ages, and body types observed their own physical responses and characteristics during the process.

I think this will be helpful for anyone who is curious!

In this post, I’ll summarize what Airnox is, how it differs from sleep anesthesia, and what responses were seen during actual use.

1. What Is Airnox (AIRNOX) Anesthesia?

Airnox - This photo is a reference image for device explanation purposes.

Airnox is a device that inhales gas through the mouth.

As a breathing sedation device rather than an anesthesia device, it works by easing pain and anxiety while keeping you conscious. So what gas is being inhaled?

You may be wondering what kind of gas is inhaled.

The gas commonly known as laughing gas is..

It is nitrous oxide (N2O) and oxygen (O2).

When these two gases are mixed and used in a set ratio,

they play a supportive role in reducing psychological tension and the burden of pain, which is why they have recently been used in many treatment settings.

2. Differences from Sleep Anesthesia

This photo is a staged scene to help with explanation.

At first, many people ask, "How is this different from sleep anesthesia?" "Do you fall asleep right away if you inhale the gas?"

However, unlike sleep anesthesia, Airnox does not put you to sleep, and the key feature is that you remain able to talk while only pain and anxiety are reduced.

Sleep anesthesia requires a brief sting in the arm so that the medication can be administered, but Airnox does not require that at all.

So it can be used with relatively little burden even for people who are very afraid of injections.

3. What Does Airnox Anesthesia Feel Like?

This photo is a reenactment for educational purposes.

To clearly understand what it feels like,

this training session included Mutoel Plastic Surgery's Director Choi Jun-ho, Director Lee Hyeon-ji, Director Choi Yu-seop, as well as one person each from the nursing team and the outpatient team.

1. Director Choi Jun-ho (male, 40s)

"Ah~ I get what this feels like. It’s like being drunk."

Director Jun-ho tried different ratios of nitrous oxide and oxygen, and directly experienced the different sensations at each concentration.

The photo above is a staged scene to help the flow of the article.

Director Lee Hyeon-ji (female, 30s)

"I didn’t feel any stinging at all."

After Director Hyeon-ji personally received even a jaw Botox treatment, she said she could feel it, but it was not difficult.

Director Choi Yu-seop (male, 70s)

"^ㅡㅡ^"

He does not smile often during the year, but after the anesthesia was over, he brightened everyone’s day with a big smile.

Nursing Team (female, 60s)

"I kept putting off glabella Botox because I heard it hurts a lot, but now it’s fine."

Forehead and glabella wrinkle Botox that had been delayed out of fear! The mission was completed without fear.

Outpatient Team (female, 20s)

"I feel drowsy."

She worried, "What if I don’t feel anything because I can drink about two bottles?" but to the point that her worries felt unnecessary, she felt laughter and relaxation.

Although the words and reactions each person showed when sedated were different,

a positive response with smiles appeared in common.

However, because these reactions can vary from person to person, please remember that they cannot be concluded as medical effects!

Please keep that in mind :)

4. Who Might Benefit From It

Oxygen saturation monitor checked during actual use

• People who feel very tense before starting
• People who feel burdened by injection anesthesia
• People who want quick recovery due to a busy schedule
• People looking for light sedation anesthesia

In these cases, if the medical staff judges it appropriate, using Airnox may be helpful.

5. Conclusion

Airnox equipment at Mutoel Plastic Surgery

Airnox is a device that is carried out while medical staff monitor in real time whether the concentration and ratio of inhaled gas are appropriate, whether it has been used for too long, whether breathing is normal, and whether the heart is beating well.

Today, for accurate supervision, the medical staff and employees of Mutoel Plastic Surgery looked into the principles and reactions of using the Airnox sedation device.

If you are wondering, "Would this be right for me?" please visit Mutoel and receive a thorough consultation so you can be guided on whether it is an appropriate method for you.

Thank you :)
