Abstract

Metliohexital is the only intravenous anaesthetic agent tested by us so far which combines shorter action with a higher potency than thiopental. If dose per minute of anaesthesia for a standard procedure is taken as an indication, the relative potency of thiopental to methohexital is 1:1.54. Nevertheless, the ratio of total sleep time per minute of anaesthesia for thiopental and methohexital is 1:0.7.
