What is the name of the theory which suggests that more lipophilic agents require a lower concentration to work as an anesthetic agent, and that high atmospheric pressures will reverse the anesthesia?
Lipid theory
1 of 8
The anesthetist should increase the concentration of the anesthetic until there is loss of consciousness and movement. True or false?
True
2 of 8
What does the minimal alveolar concentration (MAC) measure?
The potency of the anesthetic
3 of 8
In practise, the dose of anesthetic given is 2-3x the MAC dose. True or false?
True

MAC is directly proportional to lipid solubility. True or false?
False
