We are starting a new topic on the physics of anesthesia such as solubility, partial pressures, diffusion and wash-in/wash-outs.  Please suggest topics for discussion, ask questions and provide answers if you can.  
 
Thanks.

You are in luck - we just posted a free simulation that demonstrates how an exponential curve or exponential function is generated.  The concept behind an exponential curve and how it is generated is actually very simple.  We believe that the sim we recommend will help you understand exponential functions.  Exponential functions are present in the mathematical equations that govern for example pre-oxygenation and drug concentration over time, in anesthesia.  
 
You can also use the search bar on the VAM web site to locate all the VAM web pages that include the term exponential in them to locate other materials related to exponentials.
 
Click on the picture to actually launch the simulation.  I'll be happy to answer further questions after you have had a chance to use the sim below.
