General Principles of Anesthetics
drugs with ↑solubility in lipids= ↑potency

Factors affecting inhaled anesthetics:
Inspired air: ↓MAC= ↑potency
Lungs: rate and depth of ventilation

Target tissues: ↑arteriovenous gradient= slower onset of action

Cardiovascular: myocardial depression= ↓CO and hypotension
Respiratory: depression (except NO)
Brain: ↓vascular resistance= ↑cerebral blood flow
↓renal blood flow, ↓GFR, ↓hepatic blood flow
