AbstractPharmacokinetics of anesthetic drugs are widely influenced by their physical properties. Lipo-solubility is the most important characteristic. This parameter conditions tissue diffusion and subsequently potency and duration of action drugs Distribution is unequal in the different compartments of the body. The concept of effective compartment allows a best understanding of relationship between concentration, intensity and duration of action of anesthetic drugs. Constant intravenous infusion route of anesthetic drugs administration requires to be discussed.
