The purpose of this study was to determine whether sensitivity to nitrous oxide analgesia was altered by chronic ethanol exposure. Control mice exposed to 25%, 50%, and 75% nitrous oxide in oxygen demonstrated a concentration-related analgesic effect, as measured by the acetic acid abdominal constriction test. Other mice previously exposed to ethanol vapors for 72 h exhibited a significantly reduced sensitivity to nitrous oxide analgesia. The dose-response curve of the chronic ethanol-exposed group was shifted to the right of that of the control mice. These findings suggest the possibility that subjects with a history of alcohol abuse might have reduced responsiveness to nitrous oxide in a clinical setting.
