Review of this Chart:
On Gas Anesthesia, The Cerebral Blood Flow increases even Higher in Response to Increased PaCO2. You’re not going to need as High of Levels of PaCO2 to Increase Cerebral Bloow Flow
Even with Normal Ventilation PaCO2 (40mmHg), Cerebral Blood Flow is going to Increase Significantly under Inhalant
We are going to Midly Hyperventilate patients with CNS Disease under Inhalant Anesthesia, because with Inhalants normal Levels of CO2 will still Increase Intracranial Pressure

Hypoglycemia
