Talk:ACE mixture

Preparation ratios; almost half of them can be reduced - an idea about simplified presentation
I'm not going to do it in case there is some precedent for leaving them exactly as quoted, however it seems it would be easier to understand exactly what proportions are being mentioned by creating a table which lists 1. Name 2. The referenced ratios - unreduced in 'parts' from whatever source 3.The reduced ratios for comparison between one another in a standard (1:4:10 / A:C:E Etc.) format. The reduced ratio would help understand the variable quantities of ether/alcohol/chloroform and if needed it would be far more useful to compare deaths Vs. successful outcomes or whatever metric. You could then understand what subpart contributed to that outcome; I.E. too much ether/chloroform. Just an idea.Wgfcrafty (talk) 14:09, 26 September 2014 (UTC)

(Not included in table as it doesn't contain chloroform, and contains a different ether: Schleich's solutions for general anaesthesia (number one for light anaesthesia and number three for deep anaesthesia): No 1: 45 parts chloroform, 180 parts sulphuric ether, 15 parts petroleum ether. No 2: 45 parts chloroform, 150 parts sulphuric ether, 15 parts petroleum ether. No 3: 30 parts chloroform, 80 parts sulphuric ether, 15 parts petroleum ether. Wertheim's solution: 1 part chloroform, 1 part petroleum ether and 2 parts sulphuric ether)

Nevermind added table, please revert if it is found to be undesirable Wgfcrafty (talk) 14:33, 26 September 2014 (UTC)
