2018 Flashcards
APL location
in expiratory limb before reservoir bag
fresh gas flow location
in inspiratory limb before inspiratory valve
mapleson for controlled ventilation
dead bodies can’t argue: D>B>C>A
mapleson for spontaneous ventilation
all dingos can breathe
Jackson-reese minimum flow
3 x MV
components of low pressure system of anesthesia machine
flow indicator, vaporizer, vaporizer circuit control valves, back pressure safety valve, low pressure safety device, common gas outlet
advantages of CO2 absorber
less gas flow, less pollution, head/moisture conservation, contained gasses, inhaled mixture is more constant
CO2 absorber and compound A
soda lime is a risk. calcium hydroxide free decreases risk
desiccated soda lime
makes CO
signs of soda lime exhaustion
impaired CO2 on capno, color change, warm feeling at top
Boyle Law
PV=PV
Charles law
V/T=V/T
Gay-Lussac law
P/T=P/t
avogador’s hypothesis
1mole gas at 1STP = 22.4 L STP= 0C and 1atm

adverse side effects of N2O
aplastic anemia(metabolism of b12 and folate), n/v, CNS toxicity
anion gap
Na-CL-HCO3. 9-15 normal
signs of hyponatremia
arrhythmia, hypotension, pulmonary edema, mental changes, weakness/muscle cramps
