Minimum alveolar concentration (MAC) is a measure of
Potency of anaesthetic agent
Speed of induction and recovery
Lipid solubility of agent
Toxicity of agent
Minimum alveolar concentration (MAC) - Measure of potencyBlood: Gas paition coefficient -Blood solubility of anaesthetic agent and determines the speed of induction & recoveryOil: Gas paition coefficient - Lipid solubility of anaesthetic agent and is related to potency of anaesthetic agent.(Refer: Morgan and Mikhail's Clinical Anaesthesiology, 5th edition, pg no. 160, 268, 510)
