They were observed for the response to the two anaesthetics: Clove oil and Sodium bicarbonate. Effective dosage of both the anaesthetics <em>viz</em>. clove oil and sodium bicarbonate for the induction and recovery worked out to be 80 and 4000 ppm, respectively. Both the anaesthetics clove oil and sodium bicarbonate were found to be cost effective as compared to MS-222.
