From: PKQuest: volatile solutes – application to enflurane, nitrous oxide, halothane, methoxyflurane and toluene pharmacokinetics

Figure 1

Comparison of PKQuest model alveolar gas concentration (line) and experimental data (squares) for the end tidal concentration (volume %) during uptake and washout of enflurane. The figures in the left hand column are for the data of Carpenter et al. [28] (inspired concentration = 0.518%) and those in the right hand column are for data of Munson et al. [4] (inspired concentration = 0.0186%). The figures in the second row are for the uptake in the form of a semi log plot of the difference between the inhaled concentration (which would correspond to the long time equilibrium concentration) and the end expired concentration as a function of time. The figures in the third row are a semi log plot of the end expired concentration as a function of time. The data are the mean values for 9 (Carpenter et al) and 6 (Munson et al.) subjects.
