Anaesthetic Gases

Modern inhalation anaesthetics are becoming preferred over intravenous anaesthetics due to more rapid onset and offset times and fewer side effects, making them especially suitable for administration on children and elderly patients. The three most common members of this family are sevoflurane, desflurane and isoflurane, used as general anaesthetics and are administered in hospitals using ventilators. which vaporizes and dilutes them. However, data concerning their properties is scarce. Our goal is to predict the vapour pressures of these agent as functions of temperature.
