Is I bad to force a child to use nitrous oxide? My 8 y.o son had a procedure done and was given n.o. he started to freak out when the docgtor put the mask on him. The other nurses helped hold him down till he was out. What scared me was the fact that his body was still tight and locked up from trying to struggle.

Didn't you have to consent? Apparently you were there and witnessed this.

Was their another choice for them?
