Terrorism
In October 2002 headlines suggesed
nitrous oxide to be the "common anaesthetic agent"
that had been used by Russian military to disable terrorists
at a Moskow theater.
This triggered the ISMG together with the German Society of
Desaster Medicine (DGKM) to launch a special session entitled
"Terrorism - Moscow and what
we have learned" at the German Anesthesia
Congress (DAC 2003) in Munich.
