title: No ignition risk with hyperbaric enflurane.
abstract: A series of experiments was undertaken with Enflurane under hyperbaric conditions to determine whether or not it was explosive under these conditions. No risk of detonation was shown with concentrations of Enflurane up to 5% in either oxygen or nitrous oxide mixtures under conditions of hyperbaria to 3 A.T.A. (Atmospheres Absolute).
