The values indicated in the table relate to an age of 40 years. Age-dependent MAC values The MAC values used in Apollo are corrected for Figure 87. Influence of Age on MAC age. Therefore make sure that the age of the patient Influence of age on the MAC value is entered correctly.
(MAC multiple) The MAC value is a simple navigation aid for anesthetic gas metering. Apollo indicates the MAC multiple (xMAC), which is determined from the present expiratory measurements and the age-dependent MAC values. In the gas of gas mixtures, the respective multiples...
