Inhaled anesthetic general principles:
dereased solubility in blood?
increased solubility in lipids?
increased arterial-venous concentration gradient in tissue?
decreased solubility in blood- faster induction and recovery time

increased solubility in lipids- has SLOWER INDUCTION, but HIGHER POTENCY

higher conc. gradient in tissue (brain)- more needed to saturate tissues- slower induction

1/MAC= potency
(MAC is conc. of drug at which 50% of people anesthetized)

potency directly proportional to lipid solubility of the drug

NO- low lipid solubility and blood solubility- low potency, fast induction and clearance time

Halothane- high blood and lipid solubility - slow induction and high potency
