[Physico-chemical characteristics, absorption and elimination kinetics and technics of use of enflurane].

Physical-chemical properties, uptake und elemination of enflurane are described with particular references to halothane. The ratio potency/vapor pressure, the blood and tissues solubility of this agent provide a good flexibility of uptake and elemination in response to changes in alveolar ventilation. When used with nitrous oxide, the enflurane may provide good clinical results at inspired concentration 1-2 p. 100.

Effect on nitrous oxide on the anaesthetic requirement of enflurane.

The effect of nitrous oxide on the minimum alveolar concentration of enflurane required to prevent movement in response to skin incision in 50% of subjects (MAC) has been investigated in two groups of 16 patients. The end-tidal enflurane concentration was held constant for 25-36 min in order to equilibrate the brain with the alveolar anasthetic partial pressure. When nitrous oxide (30%) was present in the inspired mixture the MAC of enflurane was 1.17%; the value decreased to 0.57% when 70% nitrous oxide was used.
