Failure to demonstrate effect of trace concentrations of nitrous oxide and halothane on psychomotor performance
TL;DR: Progressive visual reaction times were measured before and after exposure of 10 subjects (anaesthetics or anaesthetic technicians) to either halothane 100-150 p.p.m. in air or air alone and there were no significant differences between the control and test situations.
Journal ArticleDOI
