Blood: Gas paition coefficient is a measure of
The paition coefficient is defined as the relative solubilities of gas in 2phases. The blood gas paition coefficient determines the solubility of the gas in the blood. It also determines the onset of induction and recovery. It is inversely propoional to the induction rate.
