Physicochemical characteristics
The action and margin of safety
How they are supplied
Equipment needed for safe delivery
How they are taken up by the lung, distributed within the body, and eliminated

Pressure exerted by the molecules of the vapor phase at equilibrium of molecules moving in and out of liquid phase
Vapor Pressure dependent on temperature and physical characteristics of liquid, independent of atmospheric pressure
↑ Temperature→↑ Vapor Pressure Vapor pressure is a measure of the agent’s ability
to evaporate (volatility) .The greater is the vapor pressure, the greater the concentration of inhalant deliverable to the patient (and environment).
Boiling Point: Temperature at which vapor pressure equals atmospheric pressure

Solubility of Inhaled Drugssolubility (partition) coefficient - the extent to which a gas will dissolve in a given solvent
Predicts the speed of induction, recovery, and
change in anesthetic depth for an inhalant.
Ideal inhaled anesthetics should have low
blood/gas and low tissue/blood solubility and low
solubility in plastic and rubber.
Low solubility means rapid induction and emergence and more precise control

MAC
Defined as the minimum alveolar concentration of
an anesthetic agent at one atmosphere that
produces immobility in 50% of patients exposed
to a noxious stimulus.
Measurement of inhalation agent potency, which
refers to the quantity of an agent required to
produce a desired effect.
methoxyflurane (MAC = 0.23) currently is the
most potent inhalant agent available.

glycogenHeart: Initially increases cardiac output, then
decreases card. output, suppresses vasomotor center.
