Blood : Gas paition coefficient is a measure of ?
Ans. is 'b' i.e., Speed of induction and recovery Minimum alveolar concentration (MAC) --> Measure of potency. Blood : Gas paition coefficient Blood solubility of anaesthetic agent and determines the speed of induction & recovery. Oil : Gas paition coefficient -4 Lipid solubility of anaesthetic agent and is related to potency of anaesthetic agent.
