This episode explores how volatile anaesthetics behave and affect patients.

Shownotes @: https://gasgasgas.uk/gasgasgas-compartmentalised-volatiles-and-a-brief-jaunt-with-sevoflurane/

Chiefly thinking about how the compartments in a breathing circuit and patient interplay to achieve depth / maintain anaesthetic depth and emerge from anesthesia.

Absolutely worth a listen to get your head around compartments and also starting thinking about blood gas and oil gas partition coefficients

 

VOLATILE AGENTS, SEVOFLURANE, ANAESTHETIC GASES, SATURATED VAPOUR PRESSURE, BOILING POINT, BLOOD GAS PARTITION CO-EFFICIENT.
