Abstract
Technical and mathematical problems relating to the solubility of N2O in blood and water are reviewed. Under controlled conditions the solubility of N2O in water at 37[degree]C, using 100% N2O at atmospheric pressure, is 36.7 ml./100 ml. The value obtained for dog blood in vivo at 37.4[degree]C. using an inspired 80%-20% N2O-O2 mixture is 39.5 ml./lOO ml.Keywords
