Inhalation anestheics Flashcards
Inspired gas concentration determined by
Fresh gas flow rate
breathing circuit volume
circuit absorption
Alveolar gas concentration determined by
uptake of anesthetic into blood
ventilation
the concentration effect and second gas effect
Arterial gas concentration determined by
ventilation/perfusion mismatching (bronchial intubation, R–>L intra cardiac shunts
Definition of MAC
alveolar concentration that prevents movement in 50% of pts in response to a standardized stimulus
MAC ~ ? prevents movement in 95% of pts
