I. THE DETERMINATION OF PARALDEHYDE IN TISSUES, BLOOD AND EXPIRED AIR
Abstract
Methods for the determination of paraldehyde in blood, tissues and expired air are described. The determination in blood is accomplished by means of the color reaction between paraldehyde and p-hydroxydiphenyl in sulfuric acid; the estimations in tissues and expired air are performed by depolymerization of the paraldehyde to acetaldehyde in hot dilute sulfuric acid and absorption of the liberated acetaldehyde in sodium bisulfite solution, followed by iodometric titration. The methods have an accuracy of about 5 per cent.
