Popis: Many techniques for measurement of the tissue/gas partition coefficient are valid. Each has specific advantages and shortcomings. All the methods require suitable analytic equipment and means for controlling temperature. The disadvantages of a particular technique, the ability to cope with them and the availability of the necessary apparatus are the determining factors in choosing the best method. The latex bag tonometer has a precision and ease which compares favourably with previously described techniques for measuring anaesthetic blood/gas partition coefficients. The technique was successfully used to show the effect of in vivo haemodilution on the halothane blood/gas partition coefficient.
