Q

The Minimum Alveolar Concentraion increases with which types of patients?

A
  • Hyperthermia
  • Hypernatremia

If you have a hyperthermic patient, it means that the minimum alveolar concentration of the drug in order to achieve effect will need to be higher.

Q

The Minimum Alveolar Concentration decreases with which types of patients?

A
  • Hypothermia
  • Hyponatremia
  • Hypotension
  • Lithium
  • Lidocaine
  • Opioids

This list to the left shows factors which would mean that the patient would need LESS of the drug to achieve desired effect.
