Isoflurane Minimum Alveolar Concentration Reduction by Fentanyl [PDF]
Anesthesiology, 1993 Isoflurane is commonly combined with fentanyl during anesthesia. Because of hysteresis between plasma and effect site, bolus administration of fentanyl does not accurately describe the interaction between these drugs. The purpose of this study was to determine the MAC reduction of isoflurane by fentanyl when both drugs had reached steady biophase ...
