Liquid Helium
Helium is used as a component of breathing mixtures to reduce the density of the mixture to facilitate breathing under certain physical and physiological conditions.
In Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) machines, helium cools electromagnetic coils to superconductive levels. This decreases the metal's ordinary resistance to the electrical current and results in high-resolution images.
Nitrogen
Nitrogen is used as a component in many gas mixtures and as a displacement medium for sterile equipment. It is also used as a non-oxidizing displacement medium in pharmaceutical vials and as a propellant in pressurized aerosol type dispensers. Nitrogen provides a source of pneumatic pressure to power gas-operated medical devices and as a coolant for carbon dioxide surgical lasers.
Nitrogen is also used to freeze and preserve blood, tissue, semen and other biological specimens and to freeze and destroy diseased tissue in cryosurgery and dermatology. It may also be used to pre-cool or insulate Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) machines which conserves helium.
Carbon Dioxide
Carbon dioxide is used for close-to-physiologic atmospheres for the operation of artificial organs and in cryosurgery with insufflators during laparoscopic surgery. Carbon dioxide is also used as a component in a mixture of oxygen or air as a respiratory stimulant to promote deep breathing.
Nitrous Oxide
Nitrous oxide is used as an analgesic, often in combination with other agents for the production of anesthesia. Nitrous oxide is also used in cryosurgery.
