Abstract
"To determine the minimum alveolar concentration (MAC) of sevoflurane in mechanically ventilated sheep.. Prospective study. Fourteen healthy adult female Sardinian bred sheep were selected. Anaesthesia was. induced with sevoflurane delivered in oxygen (3 l\/min) through a mask with the vaporizer set at 8%. An. endotracheal tube was inserted, and a probe for continuous measurement of end‐tidal and inspired. sevoflurane concentrations was placed in the trachea via the endotracheal tube. After 30 minutes of. equilibration at an end‐tidal sevoflurane concentration of 2,8%, an electrical stimulus [5Hz \/1 msec. (impulse duration) \/ 50.0 mA] was applied to the skin of the lateral side of the right antebrachium for one. minute or until a gross purposeful movement response was obtained. The vaporizer dial setting was. changed in order to obtain an increase or decrease by 0,1‐ 0,2% in end‐tidal sevoflurane concentration,. dependent upon whether a motor response had been elicited by noxious (electrical) stimulation or not.. Following a 10‐minute equilibration period the noxious stimulation was repeated.
