We randomly assigned 2000 patients to BIS-guided anesthesia (target BIS range, 40 to 60) or ETAG-guided anesthesia (target ETAG range, 0.7 to 1.3 minimum alveolar concentration [MAC]).

Older people, and the unwell, need less anaesthetic to reach 1 MAC, or minimum alveolar concentration. As an aside, when you're really old enough, you won't need any anaesthetic to knock you out ...

Cannabis users had significantly higher average minimum alveolar concentrations of isoflurane or sevoflurane than nonusers (mean, 0.58 vs 0.54; mean difference, 0.04; P = .021).

However, the reduction in PAED "was marginal compared to the large difference in exposure," Nagasaka said, a difference of 1.4 minimum alveolar concentration (MAC) hours of exposure to anesthesia ...

Background: Anesthesia machines have been developed by the application of new technology for rapid and easier control of anesthetic concentration. In this study, we used a test lung to investigate ...

In the 1960s, Dr. Eger helped establish what is now regarded as a universal standard for dosing inhaled anesthetics, called MAC — minimum alveolar concentration — which is used in the ...

“All these values are in excess of the MAC (minimum alveolar concentration) levels set by the World Health Organization or other accredited institutions for groundwater or drinking water,” the ...
