SN mommy, You should definitely dig into this very deeply. We are changing breathing circuits after each patient to avoid spreading the "triggers" for MH. That being said, every single CRNA will be...
Oldsalt, With experience, all your concerns will be addressed. If you're looking for a "perfect formula" that will tell you what MAC should be used on a pt based on his age, ASA, history, etc, ......
