HALOTHANE DOSAGE BASED ON LEAN BODY MASS
Copyright policy )HALOTHANE DOSAGE BASED ON LEAN BODY MASS
SUMMARY In sixteen cases the lean body mass (LBM) was calculated from height, girth and body weight measurements. Using the maximum anaesthetic blood level (MABL) as an end-point, the amount of halothane taken up by the body was related to this lean body mass. The ventilation required to bring the halothane blood level to MABL was also related. From this a formula was constructed to predict MABL. The uptake was influenced by the anthropomorphic somatotype of the patient.
