Term
If MAC of exothane is 1.15% at sea level then what is the MAC of exothane in Denver at 500 mmHg?
Definition
Mac of Exothane at sea level = 1.15% at 760 mm Hg. So the body needs a partial pressure of 8.74 mm Hg to obtain MAC. Therefore it needs 8.74 mm Hg no matter what altitude. So at denver the ATM is 500 mmHg. It still needs 8.74. So 8.74/500 = 1.74 %!!
Term
If the MAC of Ballothane is 2.5 % in Salt Lake City with a atm pressure 600 mmHg then what is MAC in Florida at sea level?
Definition
2.5% at 600 mm Hg means that to obtain MAC you need a partial pressure of 15 mm Hg in the lungs. Therefore no matter where you are in the world you need 15 mm Hg partial pressure to obtain MAC. So at sea level you need 15 mm Hg too. So divide 15/sea level (706 mmHg) to get MAC % = 1.97%

Term
Explain the physics behind the Tec 6 and desflurane at sea level and in denver colorado. What happens? Does the unit need to be adjusted?
Definition

First understand that desflurane at 20C has a SVP of 690. It is very close to being a total gas and therefore unstable to be used in a variable bypass device. To make administration of desflurane safer it is heated in a Tec 6 vaporizer to 39 C which effectively pushes it past its critical temperature and into a 100% gas. (no vapor) 

 

Desflurane's vaporizer works in absolute pressures. It administers its % relative to an absolute pressure. So its % of current atmospheric pressure. This is physiologically erred. Since % administered of any volatile is not a direct correlation to achieving MAC. Its the PARTIAL PRESSURE which effect anesthesia. So when you go to a higher altitude the % of that atm is what will come out of the Tec 6. Therefore in denver the ATM is much less and therefore 6 % in Denver will under deliver the needed partial pressure of deslfurane to achieve MAC of 1.
