Adsorption of Halothane Vapour in Glass Syringes

R. HERCHL PH.D.1

1 Department of Anaesthesia, University of Manitoba, Winnipeg

The adsorption of halothane vapour on the ground-glass in all-glass syringes was studied. We devised a method to estimate adsorption by measuring changes of pressure in syringes filled with halothane vapour-air mixtures. The amount of adsorption of the halothane vapour by ground-glass was considerable, particularly at lower concentrations of the mixture. This factor significantly affects accuracy in the particular estimation of anaesthetic vapour-gas mixtures.
