Abstract:	Inhaled nitrous oxide is a common form of procedural sedation in paediatric care. During the COVID-19 pandemic, concerns about potential aerosol generation and associated viral transmission to health-care workers have led to controversy regarding its use. We aimed to measure the degree of aerosol generation during continuous flow nitrous oxide sedation to inform future guidelines.
