Unsafe Delivery Methods
Never use a mask or any other delivery mechanism for nitrous oxide that does not readily
fall away unless under close, sober supervision. Many deaths are associated with garbage
bags falling over someone's head, a mask that stays attached to the face, and other delivery methods that cause hypoxia/suffocation.
