9 MINIMUM ALVEOLAR CONCENTRATION (MAC) – The minimum alveolar concentration that prevents movement in response to surgical stimulation in 50% of subjects Smaller MAC, more potent anaesthetic Higher lipid solubility, lower MAC MAC not influenced by sex, species, acid-base balance & arterial BP POTENCY OF INHALED ANAESTHETICS Brunton L, Hilal-Dandan R, Knollmann B.

OIL : GAS PARTITION COEFFICIENT Measures lipid solubility Higher lipid solubility (↑ oil : gas partition coefficient) more is potency Methoxyflurane – highest oil : gas partition coefficient – most potent N20 – lowest oil : gas partition coefficient – least lipid soluble & least potent 10 POTENCY OF INHALED ANAESTHETICS Brunton L, Hilal-Dandan R, Knollmann B.
