| Which of the following factors do not influence MAC | Sex |
| What should the pressure be between the flowmeters and breathing circuit | 15 psi |
| When is the negative pressure relief valve important | If there is a failure of oxygen flow through the system |
| Ideally in a patient under anesthesia | The PaO2 should be high, and the PaCO2 should be low |
| All inhalant anesthetic machines should have | An anesthetic waste gas scavenging system |

| Which of the following statements regarding sevoflurane is true | Is a better choice for mask induction than Isoflurane, Patients will experience VERY rapid changes in anesthetic depth, Is color-coated yellow for easy identification, Should not be used in a total rebreathing system |
