The speed of onset of anaesthesia with Althesin has been compared with that of other intravenous anaesthetics. Like thiopentone, Althesin appears to be a truly rapidly acting drug, producing sleep in one arm-brain circulation time. The relative potencies of the drugs studied were approximately Althesin 60 mulitre/kg equivalent to thiopentone 4 mg/kg, equivalent to methohexitone 1.2 mg/kg, although by some criteria Althesin 80 mulitre/kg is required to produce an effect equivalent to thiopentone 4 mg/kg.
