1. Use of xenon when working with neurological patients. Some of them require not only neurological treatment, but also dental treatment.

Table of contents:

Xenon concentration up to 35%

3. Working with dental patients. Xenon concentration up to 35%

4. Xenon anesthesia. Xenon concentration is above 70%.

In this note, we will dwell in more detail on the use of xenon gas in the dental practice of doctors at the Dial-Dent Center for the purpose of sedation (calming). The use of xenon for anesthesia is not discussed in this article.

In dentistry, the problem of achieving ideal pain relief is still not 100% solved:

Dentistry has developed very effective local anesthetic drugs. But many people and dentists know that sometimes, for inexplicable reasons, even very good methods of local anesthesia do not work or do not work enough. This is because pain has many aspects. The aspect coming from painful tissues is effectively relieved by local anesthesia. But the aspect of pain that comes from the psyche is a little more complicated. If a person is afraid, tense, or stressed, then local anesthetics lose some of their effectiveness. Even with complete shutdown of pain impulses from peripheral tissues, a person can feel pain. These sensations trigger a cascade of negative reactions, starting from increased blood pressure and increased heart rate to sudden hormonal changes. All this negatively affects the postoperative period. It heals worse, takes longer and the risk of complications increases.

The Dial-Dent Family Dental Center also uses other techniques that can remove the aspect of pain that “comes from the head.” The first method is dental treatment under anesthesia. The second technique is dental treatment in medical sleep, under sedation. Recently, another interesting technique has appeared - dental treatment using xenon. Xenon is the most modern anesthetic. It attracts scientists and doctors because it is an ideal anesthetic. Side effects of xenon use are unknown.

Dial-Dent not only relieves pain that may occur due to dental problems. We take a comprehensive approach to ensuring patient comfort during dental procedures. By using xenon therapy before, during and after dental procedures, the following effects can be achieved:

- not painful (sensory component);

- not scary (psycho-emotional component);

— relaxed (motor component);

— good health (vegetative component)

- disdainful attitude towards all unpleasant sensations, including painful sensations (cognitive component).

The effectiveness of xenon is ensured by the following effects:

1. Normalization of the function of the neurohumoral system, disturbed by preoperative stress.

2. Reduced pain response.

3. Reducing the risk of psycho-emotional and postoperative complications.

4. Increasing the effectiveness of pain relief.

5. Reducing tissue swelling.

6. Reduced post-operative pain.

7. Reducing the duration of treatment and postoperative rehabilitation.

8. Improving the well-being of patients at all stages of dental treatment.

Indications for the use of xenon for dental purposes at the Dial-Dent Family Dental Center.

— psycho-emotional stress before dental intervention;

— dental phobia (fear of treatment from a dentist);

— severe pain syndrome during painful therapeutic and diagnostic procedures;

- combined anesthesia in combination with local anesthesia;

- increased risk of vegetative crises (hypertensive crisis, fainting, collapse) - prevention and treatment of emergency conditions in dentistry;

- allergies; (in order to reduce the dose of local anesthesia administered)

— increasing the effectiveness of pain relief during the inflammatory process; (in case of inflammation, local anesthesia works less well than usual, so additional methods of pain relief are often required)

— relief of hypertonicity of the masticatory muscles due to painful dysfunction of the mandibular joint;

— relief of pain in trigeminal neuropathy; (at the Dial-Dent Center only after consultation with a neurologist.

— rehabilitation after dental treatment for the purpose of postoperative pain relief, restoration of the neuromuscular functions of the masticatory and facial muscles, as well as the psycho-emotional status of the patient;

- increased gag reflex.

Contraindications to the use of xenon for pain relief and sedation (calming) at the Diald-Dent Dental Center:

- individual hypersensitivity to the drug; subjective unpleasant sensations when exposed to xenon.

- dysfunction of the respiratory center (including bronchial asthma);

- bradycardia; (slow heart rate)

- severe degrees of circulatory failure (second degree and higher);

- increased intracranial pressure;

- conditions accompanied by severe depression of the central nervous system (alcohol poisoning, sleeping pills, narcotic analgesics, psychotropic drugs);

- infectious diseases accompanied by high fever;

- bleeding (nasal, gastrointestinal tract, menstrual cycle);

- pregnancy and lactation period.

How to carry out the xenon treatment procedure at the Dial-Dent Center.

1. The doctor of the Dial-Dent Family Dental Center determines whether there are indications for xenon treatment.

2. A conversation is held with the patient about all the nuances of xenon treatment.

3. Depending on the situation, the doctor plans the xenon treatment procedure: duration, xenon gas concentration, etc. The doctor also plans to carry out dental procedures dependent on xenon therapy.

4. Special equipment is rolled up to the dental chair. The chair reclines to an almost horizontal position. A soft pillow and, if necessary, a disposable blanket are provided. The patient is offered a mask for breathing xenon gas. The patient can hold the mask on his face himself. This method is suitable for particularly anxious patients who need a sense of control over the situation. We recommend the second method, when the mask is secured to the patient’s face with special straps and held without the help of the patient’s hands. The second method allows you to relax more. Even if the mask is held on the patient's head using rubber straps, this does not prevent the patient from easily removing it at any time by simply pulling the mask.

5. If the purpose of the xenon therapy procedure is further dental manipulation, then the duration of the procedure is usually 5 minutes.

6. The patient’s mask is removed and the necessary dental procedures are performed. During dental procedures, the patient does not breathe xenon gas.

7. At the end of dental procedures, for relaxation after treatment, you can still breathe xenon, since gas remains in the device.

“The use of an oxygen-xenon mixture for pain and pain syndromes in outpatient dental practice.”

  • In 1992, research on medical xenon for anesthesia began in Russia (N.E. Burov).
  • Since 1999, xenon anesthesia officially began to be used in medical practice (Order of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation of October 8, 1999 N 363).
  • Since 2002, xenon began to be used in the form of short inhalations in narcology, neurology and other branches of medicine by anesthesiologists.
  • In 2011, Federal Law 323 was passed in Russia on the basis that this technology can be used by certified medical workers (including dentists) who have undergone special training in the use of xenon inhalations to relieve pain and pain syndromes.
  • In 2010, the company “NC “Biology Gas Service” developed a dental device for xenon inhalation “STAKI” (does not belong to the class of anesthesia devices), using the drug “XeMed” produced in Russia.

The introduction of a new method will improve the quality of dental treatment. This technology is intended for dentists who have been trained to work with the device and inert gases. In this regard, the Ural State Medical Academy conducts a 72-hour training cycle for dentists with the issuance of state-standard advanced training certificates.

Xenon inhalation

Xenon is a “noble” inert gas, which has found its wide application not only in various branches of medicine. The use of this gas allows for effective treatment of various diseases. Recently, a method of treating respiratory diseases such as xenon inhalation has become popular.

Important! The main advantages of this treatment are factors such as the absence of side effects and allergic manifestations.

The effectiveness of xenon inhalations

Xenon inhalation can increase a person’s mental abilities, so this procedure is most effective for people whose activities are associated with mental stress and stressful situations. Xenon inhalations help relieve fatigue and nervous tension, and also significantly contribute to emotional uplift.

Many patients unknowingly fear the use of this gas, although it belongs to the category of absolutely harmless and non-toxic drugs.

Important! The use of xenon inhalation eliminates the impact on the central nervous system, as well as avoids negative effects on the cells and tissues of the human body.

Xenon inhalations for athletes are also officially permitted.

How is xenon inhalation performed?

Inhalations using xenon gases should be carried out in a clinical setting so that there is a calm environment that promotes relaxation of the immune system. It is important to pay attention to the lighting in the xenon therapy room. It should be soft, not exciting or bright. Light and soothing music should be played in the office, and when talking with the doctor, you should talk about pleasant and light topics.

It is important to know! The peculiarities of using xenon as an inhalation do not cause physical and mental dependence in the patient. After the session, the gas is quickly removed from the body and does not accumulate in it.

Important recommendations when performing xenon inhalations

When turning to inhalation techniques for treatment and prevention, it should be noted that the patient does not need to undergo any preparation beforehand. One of the important recommendations is that the patient should not eat food 2 hours before the session, as this will lead to discomfort.

The scope of xenon application is quite wide, not only in medicine, but also in other industries, for example, with its help it was possible to achieve the brightest lighting possible, which is increasingly being installed on cars. Before the procedure, the doctor performs the following steps:

  • advises the patient;
  • measures blood pressure and pulse;
  • informs about its actions and consequences.

Inhalation of the gas lasts no more than 3 minutes, after which the patient should lie down for at least a minute. Such short-term use of gas contributes to the development of the following positive effects:

  1. Improved sleep and mood.
  2. Elimination of signs of depression.
  3. Removal of neurotic and neurosis-like conditions.
  4. Increased performance.
  5. Elimination of pain.
  6. Elimination of addiction to drugs and alcohol.

Contraindications to xenon therapy

Despite the harmlessness of this method, xenon therapy still has some contraindications. It is highly undesirable to carry out procedures at home without the supervision of a medical professional.

It is important to know! Before the procedure, it is mandatory to measure blood pressure and heart rate.

The categories of patients for whom the procedure is contraindicated include:

  • persons with myocardial infarction and heart defects;
  • angina pectoris;
  • pneumothorax;
  • with circulatory failure;
  • epilepsy;
  • respiratory failure.

Carrying out xenon inhalations for such patients can lead to aggravation of existing ailments, which may result in death.

Patient's feelings during xenon therapy

When resorting to dental treatment, the patient may be prescribed xenon inhalation to eliminate unpleasant pain. Such procedures are not always resorted to, but only in cases where patients show signs of intolerance to conventional anesthetics.

This state is somewhat reminiscent of a trance, which occurs after the first inhalation of gas. After the gas supply is completed, the patient gradually comes out of this pleasant state.

Important! If the dosage of gas is increased, the person may completely lose the sense of balance, which will lead to euphoria.

Xenon in medicine is one of the best means for treating fatigue, irritability, excitability and insomnia.

    Xenon anesthesia: features, advantages and disadvantages

    Xenon anesthesia has long been used in practical medicine. This is one of the safest methods of pain relief for the patient, but this type of anesthesia has not yet become widespread. Let's figure out why this happens, what are the reasons that prevent its use everywhere.

    What is it, advantages and disadvantages

    Xenon anesthesia is one of the methods of inhalation anesthesia. Various gases are used for general anesthesia, for example, nitrous oxide, fluorotane, but they are to a certain extent toxic to the body, unlike xenon. Xenon is also included in the group of inhalational anesthetics. It began to be studied back in 1940, and the data on its use is amazing.

    This is one of the rare substances that does not lower blood pressure during anesthesia. There is, of course, Ketamine, but it has many side effects. Xenon anesthesia does not cause side effects from the liver and kidneys, since xenon does not participate in the metabolic reactions of the body. In addition, the patient can be removed from it in a few minutes, which is indispensable during surgical interventions on the brain.

    The disadvantage of xenon anesthesia is its high cost. Therefore, for anesthesia it is necessary to use anesthesia machines with a closed circuit, where xenon is supplied along with oxygen. Moreover, the xenon content in the mixture must be at least 70%, since at this concentration sleep and the surgical stage of pain relief occur.

    In a closed circuit it is difficult to maintain the level of oxygen and other gases. But during breathing, carbon dioxide is formed and the gas mixture for xenon anesthesia must be constantly cleared of it. This requires special devices of complex design, equipped with gas analyzers. Even minor disturbances in the composition of the gas mixture can lead to hypoxia and hypercapnia.

    The in-line method of xenon anesthesia is also used, when the patient is constantly supplied with a fresh mixture, the exhaust gas is collected and only then is it purified for reuse. In such cases, long-term operations require large supplies of respiratory gas.

    Indications and contraindications

    There are practically no contraindications to xenon anesthesia; it is the drug of choice for surgical interventions in people with chronic somatic diseases, when the risk of anesthesia is high.

    Xenon anesthesia is indicated for patients if it is necessary to quickly awaken the patient after an intervention, for example, in neurosurgery, when immediately after the operation it is necessary to check its effectiveness, reflexes, and vision.

    It has also found its application in short-term interventions in outpatient settings. The reason for this is the patient’s rapid awakening after it. Thus, xenon anesthesia is used quite often in dentistry, and in order to achieve an analgesic effect, it can be used in combination with local anesthesia.

    Sometimes xenon anesthesia in a 1:1 ratio of xenon and oxygen is used for heart attacks. Pain sensations are significantly reduced, the patient calms down, and in many cases this helps to stop the further development of the disease.

    Carrying out

    Xenon anesthesia requires expensive equipment with a closed circuit. During it, strict control over the gas content in the respiratory mixture is necessary to prevent hypoxia and hypercapnia.

    The procedure is no different from inhalation anesthesia with nitrous oxide. With the mask method of pain relief, the surgical stage begins within 4-5 minutes. To ensure that fluctuations in the concentration of xenon in the blood do not cause awakening or pain, analgesics are additionally administered, and sedatives are included in the premedication.

    Recovery from anesthesia has its own characteristics, since xenon is quickly eliminated by the lungs, in about 13-15 respiratory cycles. Its concentration in the lungs after switching off the respiratory mixture may increase, which causes diffusion hypoxia. Therefore, it is necessary to continue forced ventilation for several minutes.

    The use of xenon anesthesia, one of the safest methods of pain relief, is becoming increasingly popular in practical medicine. The development of modern anesthesia machines for the recycling of expensive xenon will make it possible to use it on a large scale.

    Xenon in medicine

    Xenon (Xe) is an inert monatomic gas without color, odor or taste. In the mid-20th century, scientists drew attention to the special properties of this substance and began to study the possibilities of using xenon in medicine. The main studies were carried out in Russia. Today, our compatriots have developed a unique technology for producing medical xenon of ultra-high purity. In 1999, the Ministry of Health issued official permission for the use of xenon for anesthesia. Currently, xenon is widely used in medicine and sports.

    In nature, xenon is found in atmospheric air in low concentrations. Due to its inertness, xenon does not change in the body and is excreted through the lungs within a matter of minutes and is therefore non-toxic to humans. Hazard class - 4 according to GOST 12.1007, which indicates the high safety of the substance. Since 2014, xenon has been officially approved for use in children.

    The properties and uses of xenon depend on its concentration.

    • Xenon reduces pain and increases the effectiveness of any other pain relief.
    • Xenon helps restore neurohumoral regulation of body functions, the action of which can be disrupted by stress before surgery.
    • Xenon reduces the risk of postoperative swelling, pain, and complications.
    • Xenon can reduce the time of treatment and rehabilitation.
    • Xenon improves the mental and emotional state of the patient at all stages of dental treatment.

    Xenon in neurology and psychotherapy

    At a xenon concentration of 35%, a relaxing, soothing and analgesic effect is achieved. Xenon improves blood circulation, which has a positive effect on the nutrition of muscles and nerves. This allows it to be used in the treatment of sleep disorders, as well as to combat stress, anxiety and depression. The main effect of xenon in the treatment of insomnia and anxiety and depression is its effect on nerve cells through their receptors. Xenon protects neurons during stress and helps cope with its manifestations. In other words, xenon is the best remedy for stress, as it has no side effects and is not addictive.

    Xenon in dentistry

    Higher concentrations of xenon up to 70% cause general anesthesia (narcosis) within 5 minutes of gas inhalation. This completely eliminates sensitivity and allows you to perform any intervention, including dental treatment, dental implantation or surgery. Xenon is also used in dentistry in low concentrations to calm the patient before dental surgery.

    Use of xenon in dental patients

    Currently, local anesthesia during dental procedures does not always give a 100% result. What can prevent a high-quality anesthetic from turning off pain receptors? Firstly, the patient’s increased stress level, tension and anxiety. If a person is very afraid of the upcoming procedure, the local anesthetic may not be effective. Secondly, the pain often does not go away completely due to the presence of extensive inflammation in the tissues. Painful sensations can give impetus to the launch of such negative reactions as increased blood pressure, increased heart rate, and a surge in the release of hormones. And this, in turn, has a negative impact on the postoperative period, increasing the risk of complications.

    Xenon therapy in dental patients helps to achieve the following results: the patient will not be in pain or afraid, he will feel relaxed and good, and will not pay increased anxious attention to the upcoming procedures.

    Indications for xenon therapy in dental patients:

    • Dentophobia (fear of visiting the dentist);
    • increased gag reflex;
    • severe pain syndrome in the patient, the presence of an extensive inflammatory process;
    • the risk of vegetative reactions in the patient (risk of fainting, hypertensive crisis, collapse);
    • the need for additional pain relief in combination with local anesthesia;
    • allergic reactions to local anesthetic (to reduce the dose of anesthetic);
    • relieving the increased tone of the masticatory muscles due to TMJ dysfunction, when the patient opens his mouth with difficulty or pain;
    • rehabilitation after dental treatment.

    Contraindications to xenon therapy:

    • individual intolerance to the drug;
    • dysfunction of the respiratory center, bronchial asthma;
    • infectious diseases accompanied by high fever;
    • severe degrees of circulatory failure (second degree and higher);
    • bradycardia (slow heart rate);
    • increased intracranial pressure;
    • conditions accompanied by severe depression of the central nervous system;
    • bleeding (nasal, menstrual cycle, gastrointestinal tract);
    • pregnancy and lactation period.

    How is the xenon therapy procedure performed for dental patients?

    1. The doctor determines whether there are indications and contraindications for the procedure.
    2. The doctor tells the patient how the procedure will take place and what sensations await him.
    3. The doctor plans the xenon treatment procedure (duration, gas concentration) and dental procedures that will take place after xenon therapy.
    4. The procedure is performed directly in the dental chair. Equipment for xenon therapy is rolled up to the chair. The chair reclines. A soft pillow and a disposable blanket are provided (if necessary). Xenon gas is supplied through a breathing mask with an antibacterial filter. The patient can hold the mask himself (for anxious patients) on his face, or it can be secured with loose rubber bands (the patient can independently remove the mask at any time).
    5. The duration of the procedure is 5 minutes.
    6. The mask is removed and dental treatment is performed.
    7. After treatment, you can repeat xenon inhalation for general relaxation.

    Recommendations for xenon treatment at Dial-Dent were developed on the basis of the document: “The use of medical xenon for combined anesthesia and sedation in outpatient dental practice. Methodical instructions". Approved at a meeting of the Academic Council of the Medical and Dental Research Institute on April 21, 2015, Minutes No. 03/4.

    Application of xenon

    Xenon is an inert gas that is colorless, odorless and completely tasteless. Xenon is used in various medical fields. In particular, it has become widespread in dental treatment. The study of xenon for its use for medical purposes began in the mid-20th century. It was Russian scientists who carried out a large number of studies, which did not remain inconclusive. To date, it has been possible to create a unique technology for the production of medical xenon.

    The characteristics and use of xenon depend on its concentration.

    • Xenon reduces pain and increases the effect of absolutely any pain relief.
    • Xenon helps restore the nervous regulation of body functions, the work of which can be disrupted by a stressful condition before any treatment.
    • Xenon reduces the likelihood of swelling after surgery, as well as various complications and pain.
    • Xenon helps reduce the duration of the rehabilitation period.
    • Xenon improves the emotional and psychological state of a person before and during the entire treatment, including with a dentist.

    Use in neurology and psychotherapy.

    When the xenon concentration reaches 35%, it acts as a relaxing, sedative and analgesic. At the same time, inert gas improves blood supply, which has a very good effect on the nutrition of muscles and nerves. Due to this, xenon is used in the therapeutic treatment of sleep disorders and also helps cope with stress, depression and anxiety. Xenon affects nerve cells through their receptors, making its use very effective in the treatment of insomnia and various depressive conditions. Xenon protects neurons in stressful conditions and helps fight their manifestations. Thus, xenon is one of the best remedies in the fight against depression, which is not addictive and has no side effects.

    Xenon in dentistry

    At a xenon concentration of up to 70%, it acts like a general anesthesia. Also in dentistry, xenon is used in lower concentrations, which ensures patient calm before starting treatment. Xenon reduces sensitivity and fear, which allows you to begin dental treatment, surgical procedures or implantation. The principle of xenon action in dental treatment is based on inhalation - the gas must be inhaled through a special mask for 5 minutes.

    • absence of pain and fear in the patient;
    • absence of anxiety before and during treatment;
    • feeling of calm and relaxation;

    Indications for xenon therapy in dentistry:

    • fear of dental treatment;
    • the presence of an enhanced gag reflex;
    • increased pain or extensive inflammation;
    • risk of autonomic reactions (fainting, hypertensive crisis, etc.)
    • the need for additional pain relief, in addition to local anesthesia;
    • the presence of allergic reactions to local anesthesia (use of xenon to reduce the amount of anesthetic administered);
    • in case of impaired functioning of the jaw joints, when the patient experiences difficulty and pain when opening the mouth;
    • as rehabilitation after dental treatment.

    Contraindications to the use of xenon:

    • individual gas intolerance;
    • dysfunction of the respiratory system, bronchial asthma;
    • the presence of infectious diseases that are accompanied by elevated body temperature;
    • circulatory failure (severe degrees);
    • presence of bradycardia – slow heartbeat;
    • high intracranial pressure;
    • being in a state that is accompanied by obvious depression of the nervous system:
    • period of pregnancy and lactation.

    Stages of the xenon therapy procedure in dentistry and its features:

    1. Consultation with a specialist to identify indications and contraindications for the use of xenon.
    2. Detailed story from the doctor about the procedure.
    3. Treatment progress schedule. The dentist determines the required gas concentration, the duration of the procedure and plans further dental treatment.
    4. Xenon therapy is carried out in a dental chair, to which the necessary equipment is installed. The dental chair reclines so that the patient is completely lying down.

    New in modern anesthesia: pros and cons of xenon anesthesia

    As you know, a high-quality pain reliever relieves the patient of emotional fear and internal experiences during a particular procedure. Xenon anesthesia is today considered the official representative of effective anesthesia in dentistry.

    Xenon provides pain relief for tooth extraction, pin replacement, root canal cleaning and other painful dental procedures. This natural gas is absolutely non-toxic, therefore it affects the patient’s body without side effects or discomfort, and the list of contraindications for use is completely minimal.

    There is no doubt about the safety of xenon, and modern scientists, before patenting this unique product, conducted numerous studies on different categories of patients. Today, not everyone knows what xenon anesthesia is, but every day more and more clinical patients agree to its use when performing surgical or microsurgical procedures.

    Everything new in anesthesiology is perceived very skeptically, but the effectiveness in practice is, as a rule, better than any advertising. So, after administering a single dose, the patient’s muscles relax, emotional balance is achieved, and consciousness and clarity of mind are present. Simply put, the patient clearly understands what is happening to him but does not experience pain or discomfort.

    This natural anesthetic not only leaves you conscious, but also allows you to breathe normally and preserves other unconditioned reflexes of a person. It is also worth noting that today in medicine there is such a thing as “xenon therapy”, as one of the most effective ways to combat insomnia, stress and depression. So it is difficult to overestimate the usefulness of this natural gas, and even more difficult to detect contraindications and side effects.

    Indications and contraindications for use

    Xenon anesthesia is indicated for use in the following clinical situations:

    • acute pain syndrome of various etiologies;
    • increased gag reflex;
    • carrying out dental procedures;
    • oral surgery;
    • stress, depression, depressed state.

    The desired effect occurs after a short period of time, in particular, within a few minutes. Despite the mild effect of this natural gas in the body, doctors still highlight certain contraindications and significantly limit the number of patients. Thus, among the contraindications, doctors identify the following pathologies of the human body:

    • acute or chronic heart failure;
    • Congenital heart defect;
    • myocardial infarction;
    • increased incidence of angina pectoris;
    • pneumothorax;
    • more frequent attacks of angina pectoris;
    • infectious diagnoses;
    • epilepsy.

    In such cases, doctors generally rarely prescribe operations, and the use of xenon anesthesia is completely out of the question.

    As a rule, xenon anesthesia is inhalation, that is, the patient inhales natural gas vapor and receives complete relaxation for a certain period of time. In order for the anesthesia to work as best as possible, it is recommended not to eat food two hours before the anesthesia procedure, and an hour before the anesthesia procedure, it is recommended not to drink liquids at all.

    Pain relief occurs in a horizontal position, since complete relaxation of the muscle mass contributes to an unwanted fall of the patient. In the case of dentistry, this should be a specially equipped chair, and in the case of surgery, a horizontal couch or operating table.

    About 4 liters of xenon are consumed per procedure, but this figure completely depends on the patient’s body weight and his susceptibility to anesthesia. Anesthesia is most often paid for, so it is recommended to discuss this issue with an anesthesiologist in advance.

    After the completion of surgical procedures, the patient still feels disorientated in space for some time, but over time this unpleasant feeling disappears on its own. when the patient comes to his senses, he experiences slight dizziness, but does not suffer from bouts of vomiting, signs of dyspepsia or impaired consciousness.

    Most patients chose this method of pain relief for themselves, and find a completely reasonable explanation for this decision. Among the advantages of the procedure, the following pleasant moments should be highlighted:

    • after the final exposure, natural gas is completely eliminated from the body and does not provoke side effects after direct use;
    • xenon is an environmentally friendly product, and its natural composition is completely free of toxic substances;
    • a natural antiseptic provides a stable analgesic effect, relieves unbearable pain;
    • there is no so-called addiction effect, which is characteristic of many narcotic substances;
    • effectively combined with representatives of other pharmacological groups, used in medical practice even by allergy sufferers;
    • natural xenon gas keeps the patient conscious throughout the entire period of surgical procedures;
    • Xenon anesthesia has a beneficial effect on the patient’s nervous system and successfully treats depression and stress.

    So you can use a modern medical drug without fear for your own health, but it still wouldn’t hurt to first consult with your doctor regarding such a prescription.

    Most often, xenon anesthesia is used by doctors in modern dentistry for the treatment and prosthetics of teeth. The pain relief method is harmless and beneficial to the body, does not worsen the clinical picture and does not harm the patient’s health.

    DENTISTRY WITHOUT PAIN AND ANXIETY IS REALITY!

    Listen to the service:

    Until recently, there were many big problems with anesthesia in dentistry. But they are finally a thing of the past. Let's figure it out.

    Xenon (XE) - an inert gas

    During surgical interventions in dental clinics, strong and long anesthesia is most often not needed. At the same time, it has to be used frequently, and many anesthetics (yes, there are many - all!) are toxic to the body to one degree or another.

    That is, in order to carry out an intervention without pain, the doctor and the patient must each time receive some harmful effect on the body?

    There are also, however, local anesthetics. But they do not always achieve the desired analgesic effect and do not relieve the patient’s fear and stress.

    There is a way out of this situation - the use of modern xenon anesthesia.

    What type of anesthesia is this?

    Xenon is an inert gas that was proposed for use in anesthesia back in 1990. Research began, and in 1999 this substance was approved for use.

    For a long time, doctors did not pay attention to xenon anesthesia as little studied. And now, today this type of anesthesia is already actively used in the most progressive Russian clinics, for example, in “Alex”, which are located in Zhukovsky.

    The main advantage of xenon is that it is an inert gas that does not enter into chemical reactions with neurons and does not cause harm to the body. At the same time, it provides quite powerful pain relief.

    The advantages, it must be said, are obvious:

    • the inert gas is completely safe and is quickly removed from the blood through the lungs;
    • xenon provides a sufficiently large depth of local anesthesia;
    • relieves stress, anxiety, fear;
    • deep relaxation of the patient is achieved;
    • xenon anesthesia is a modern type of anesthesia, so it is performed only on high-quality modern equipment;
    • Xenon anesthesia does not completely replace local anesthesia, but it allows you to reduce the standard volume of local anesthetic.

    There is only one drawback - xenon anesthesia is allowed to be used only in patients over 18 years of age.

    Xenon inhalation

    Xenon is a “noble” inert gas, which has found its wide application not only in various branches of medicine. The use of this gas allows for effective treatment of various diseases. Recently, a method of treating respiratory diseases such as xenon inhalation has become popular.

    Important! The main advantages of this treatment are factors such as the absence of side effects and allergic manifestations.

    The effectiveness of xenon inhalations

    Xenon inhalation can increase a person’s mental abilities, so this procedure is most effective for people whose activities are associated with mental stress and stressful situations. Xenon inhalations help relieve fatigue and nervous tension, and also significantly contribute to emotional uplift.

    Many patients unknowingly fear the use of this gas, although it belongs to the category of absolutely harmless and non-toxic drugs.

    Important! The use of xenon inhalation eliminates the impact on the central nervous system, as well as avoids negative effects on the cells and tissues of the human body.

    Xenon inhalations for athletes are also officially permitted.

    How is xenon inhalation performed?

    Inhalations using xenon gases should be carried out in a clinical setting so that there is a calm environment that promotes relaxation of the immune system. It is important to pay attention to the lighting in the xenon therapy room. It should be soft, not exciting or bright. Light and soothing music should be played in the office, and when talking with the doctor, you should talk about pleasant and light topics.

    It is important to know! The peculiarities of using xenon as an inhalation do not cause physical and mental dependence in the patient. After the session, the gas is quickly removed from the body and does not accumulate in it.

    Important recommendations when performing xenon inhalations

    When turning to inhalation techniques for treatment and prevention, it should be noted that the patient does not need to undergo any preparation beforehand. One of the important recommendations is that the patient should not eat food 2 hours before the session, as this will lead to discomfort.

    The scope of xenon application is quite wide, not only in medicine, but also in other industries, for example, with its help it was possible to achieve the brightest lighting possible, which is increasingly being installed on cars. Before the procedure, the doctor performs the following steps:

    • advises the patient;
    • measures blood pressure and pulse;
    • informs about its actions and consequences.

    Inhalation of the gas lasts no more than 3 minutes, after which the patient should lie down for at least a minute. Such short-term use of gas contributes to the development of the following positive effects:

    1. Improved sleep and mood.
    2. Elimination of signs of depression.
    3. Removal of neurotic and neurosis-like conditions.
    4. Increased performance.
    5. Elimination of pain.
    6. Elimination of addiction to drugs and alcohol.

    Contraindications to xenon therapy

    Despite the harmlessness of this method, xenon therapy still has some contraindications. It is highly undesirable to carry out procedures at home without the supervision of a medical professional.

    It is important to know! Before the procedure, it is mandatory to measure blood pressure and heart rate.

    The categories of patients for whom the procedure is contraindicated include:

    • persons with myocardial infarction and heart defects;
    • angina pectoris;
    • pneumothorax;
    • with circulatory failure;
    • epilepsy;
    • respiratory failure.

    Carrying out xenon inhalations for such patients can lead to aggravation of existing ailments, which may result in death.

    Patient's feelings during xenon therapy

    When resorting to dental treatment, the patient may be prescribed xenon inhalation to eliminate unpleasant pain. Such procedures are not always resorted to, but only in cases where patients show signs of intolerance to conventional anesthetics.

    This state is somewhat reminiscent of a trance, which occurs after the first inhalation of gas. After the gas supply is completed, the patient gradually comes out of this pleasant state.

    Important! If the dosage of gas is increased, the person may completely lose the sense of balance, which will lead to euphoria.

    Xenon in medicine is one of the best means for treating fatigue, irritability, excitability and insomnia.
