This episode focuses on drawing comparisons between the different volatile anaesthetic agents 

Shownotes @ : https://gasgasgas.uk/gasgasgas-comparing-volatiles/

Specifically : Comparisons between the blood gas partition coefficient their oil gas partition coefficient the boiling points and saturated vapour pressure differences and we’re going to define those two points a little bit and then also thinking about their global warming potential as well as the differences that a patient may experience.

Today we're covering more volatiles, thinking a bit more about the defining characteristics of volatiles and exploring MAC, Minimum alveolar concentration.

Including MAC BAR and MAC Awake - and what you really need to aim for to make sure no one remembers having their insides rummaged about in by a surgeon!

This episode explores how volatile anaesthetics behave and affect patients. 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
