The potency ratio of thiopental and a 3:1 mixture of thiopental +
,
-ethylmethylglutarimide has been determined in seven dogs by a servo-controlled, cross-over experiment employing the electroencephalogram as an index of drug action. Thiopental was found to be 1.51 times as potent as thiopental plus
,
-ethylmethylglutarimide. The upper and lower 95% confidence limits were 2.3 and 1.1, respectively.
