MAC level information

smiling_ru · Sep 3, 2004

The anesthesia reference sheet that Cusick puts out has most of that information. I have never heard of MAC induction/ MAC intubation. But, I would assume MAC BAR would be intubation.

If you don't already have this sheet, this link has an example of an older version. http://www.cusick.com/ars/AnesRef.pdf

Look at the footnote in the inhalational section for the information you want.

This site has the ordering information, the original forms are in color, this site shows examples, but you cannot read them. http://www.accrs.com/default.html

I am looking for a website or better yet a table that gives me the different MAc percentages for the different inhalation agents in relation to:
MAC-awake
MAC-induction
MAC-Intubation
MAC-Awake
MAC-Bar
I have looked through my textbook and various websites but have only found partial lists. Thanks.

Thanks. I actually have the Cusick's Anesthesia sheet but didn't notice the little print at the bottom of the inhalation section. :rotfl:

MAC-BAR is the level that blocks adrenergic responses. I am guessing that if you are at a MAC-BAR level you will be blunting the effects of intubation.? Our instructor just has them broken down into more levels then what seems to be the norm.

I can't seem to post it as an active link, but try doing a google search for "nurse anesthesia" and then grab the second link on the list. The site has tons of interesting stuff for downloading and what nots
