ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and method for identifying one anesthetic agent contained in an anesthetic gas sample as the primary anesthetic agent and for identifying a second anesthetic agent as the secondary anesthetic agent is based on the use of minimum alveolar concentration (MAC). The primary agent is identified as the anesthetic agent which has the highest percent of its MAC at its measured volume concentration. The secondary agent is identified as the anesthetic agent which has the second highest percentage of its MAC at its measured volume concentration. Certain minimum threshold levels must be met before an anesthetic agent is identified either as the primary or secondary agent.
