Mapleson used a computer spreadsheet model to predict the theoretical ideal fresh gas flow sequence at the start of low‐flow anaesthesia. The aim was to increase the end‐expired partial pressure of inhalational agent (__P__~E′an~) to one minimum alveolar concentration (MAC) as quickly as practicable
