THE ANAESTHETIC PRESSURES OF CERTAIN FLUORINE-CONTAINING GASES (1967)
MILLER, K. W., PATON, W. D. M., SMITH, E. B.
The pressures required to abolish the righting reflex of mice have been measured for five gaseous anaesthetics. The ED50 pressures (in atmospheres) found were: N2, 35; CF4, 19; SF6, 6.9; N2O, 1.5;...
