Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

There is a toxicity linked to the chronic use of nitrous oxide, leading to neurological disorders such as combined sclerosis of the spinal cord. One thus frequently observes patients presenting disorders of walking or paresthesias, of more or less resolving evolution being able to go until the need for using a wheelchair and more recently cases of thrombosis were reported Serum or urine N2O assays are rarely performed routinely, because they do not allow to ensure a real exposure due to the very short half-life of this gas in the body. Thus, other biological monitoring markers are mentioned in the literature, such as vitamin B12 or homocysteine. Unfortunately, there are still no recommendations for biological monitoring of nitrous oxide consumption. Moreover, underlying mechanisms leading to clinical outcomes remains misunderstood.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Subjects consuming nitrous oxide with clinical outcomes

Subjects who consume nitrous oxide and who have been hospitalized in this context and who present clinical signs determined during a neurological evaluation according to the PND (Peripheral Neuropathy Disability) score or who have had a thrombotic accident related to the consumption of nitrous oxide.

blood collection

Intervention Type OTHER

Biological analyses in the framework of care with conservation of blood samples

Subjects consuming nitrous oxide without clinical outcomes

Subjects who consume nitrous oxide who do not present clinical signs related to this consumption and recruited during a routine medical consultation.
