Tóm tắt

Eight adult cats of either sex were studied. The minimal alveolar concentration (MAC) for sevoflurane in the cats was found to be 2.58±0.30% (mean±SD). The ratios of MAC values between sevoflurane and halothane, enflurane and isoflurane in cats were very similar to those ratios found in humans and dogs. This observation suggests that the results of this study are correct and allows us to estimate unknown MAC values for sevoflurane in other species using known MAC values for other -anesthetic agents.
