Solution

The correct option is A True
Anaesthesia gas:
Medical gases are gases used in medical procedures. Some are used for treatment, some for anesthesia, and some for driving medical devices and tools.
There are 7 kinds of gases commonly used: $Oxygen, Nitrogen, Nitrous oxide, Argon, Helium, Carbon dioxide, and Compressed air$ .
Inhalation of a small amount of $Nitrous oxide$ has an anesthetic and analgesic effect, but a large amount of inhalation can suffocate people.
Medically, a mixture of $Nitrous oxide$ and $Oxygen$ is used as an anesthetic agent, and anesthesia is inhaled by the patient through a closed manner or a ventilator.
Thus, the given statement is True. I.e., A mixture of Oxygen and nitrogen oxide is used as a medical anaesthesia gas.
