Nitrous Oxide (N20) Nitrous Oxide (N20)‚ also known as laughing gas‚ is the only inorganic anesthetic gas in clinical use. Nitrous oxide was first prepared in 1773 by Joseph Priestley‚ an English clergyman and scientist‚ who ranks among the great pioneers of chemistry. Humphry Davy in 1798 performed brilliant investigations of several gases but focused much of his attention on nitrous oxide. Davy commented that nitrous oxide transiently relieved a severe headache‚ obliterated a minor headache
