| Abstract: | Enflurane (or Ethrane) is a stable fluorinated methylethyl ether (Fig. 1). The drug was synthesized by TYRELL in 1963. It is a colourless volatile liquid without any chemical stabilizer. The anaesthetic properties of ethrane were studied by VIRTUE et all and they described them generally similar to those of Halothane. Further clinical works were done by DOBKIN, BLACK, ADAMS and others 2,3A. They found that enflurane is a satisfac- tory anaesthetic drug. It is usually administered from a special1y calibrated vapourizer through a standard anaesthetic circuit with or without Soda- lime. The minimum alveolar concentration (MAC) of enflurane which is necessary for anaesthesia is 0.6070 in a mixture of 70% Nitrous Oxide in Oxygen and 1.7% in Oxygen. |
