The quantitative analysis of volatile anaesthetics for biomedical applications by means of gas chromatograph/mass spectrometry/selected ion monitoring (GC/MS/SIM) was studied. Xenon gas was selected as an internal standard for the assay by adding to a closed system, because of its stability and inactivity. In the assay of inhalational anaesthetics, isoflurane and nitrous oxide (laughing gas), in forensic samples (serum and cerebrospinal fluid), the calibration of the anaesthetic was linear from 0.12 to 12 nmol/mL in isoflurane and from 30 to 300 nmol/mL in nitrous oxide. Our results suggest that this new method is suitable for the quantitative analysis of inhalational anaesthetics in the biomedical field.
