no alarm
indicates no problem even though a problem exists

84

pulseless electrical activity (PEA)

CO poisoning (pulse ox)

85

A

inversely proportional

88
Q

O2 supply failure alarm triggers at

A

<30psi

indicates fail safe valve is close to closing

89
Q

low inspire O2 alarm triggered by

A

low FiO2

90
Q

high circuit pressure alarm triggers

A

kinked ETT
weight against diaphragm (obese, Tberg, lap)
light anesthesia (bronchospasm, coughing)

91
Q

sustained airway pressure alarm triggers

A

continuous increase in circuit pressure

APL valve is too closed
scavenging is blocked

92
Q

low circuit pressure alarm triggers

A

large circuit leak
(disconnected circuit)

93
Q

older machine differences

A

visible ventilator bellows
ventilator powered by high pressure O2 pathway (no electrical power needed)
in vent mode, breathing bag independent of circuit
fresh gas coupling

94
Q

leak in older machine bellows could cause

A

higher than expected PIP
higher than expected FiO2

95
Q

descending bellows

A

descend when filling with FGF
ascend when giving breath

hard to diagnose circuit leak

96
Q

ascending bellows

A

ascend when filling w/FGF
descend when giving breath

easier to diagnose circuit leak

97
Q

fresh gas coupling

A

FGF from flowmeters adds extra volume to tidal volume being delivered by vent

tidal volumes increase as FGF increases

98
Q

ventilator decoupling

A

FGF rate does not affect tidal volume

feature on newer machines

99
Q

increase dead space

A

increases airway resistance

100

A

increases circuit resistance

101
Q

what has a greater impact on resistance?

shorten circuit volume
incr diameter of circuit/breathing tube

103
