ResumoSummary A standard method was used for estimating the induction dose of thiopentone. In 1812 patients there was a positive relationship between the induction dose and the haemoglobin levels of patients. In 1711 patients an inverse relationship was found between the induction dose and plasma urea. Both of these findings can be explained by alterations in plasma binding of thiopentone.
