Q

T/FDilution of inhalant gas occurs with rebreathing circle circuits

A

TRUEDilution of inhalant gas occurs with rebreathing circle circuits. Thus, inspired concentration may be less than vaporizer setting initially.nonrebreathing circuits, no dilution occurs, thus the inhalant concentration on the vaporizer indicates the inspired concentration by the patient

Q

2 disadvantages of endotracheal tube

A
  1. increases airway resistance2. increases dead space
22
Q

what is the advantage to Murphy’s eye at the end of an endotracheal tube

A

allows air passage should the end of the tube get occluded

23
Q

In a patient breathing room air, hypoxemia will develop within _____________sec of apnea

A

30 s

24
Q

a patient breathing 100% oxygen may not become hyperemic for _______ minutes after onset of apnea

A

5 minutesPREOXYGENATE 4-5 L min w 100% O2 for 5 minsaturates alveoli with oxygen, providing a reservoir of oxygen

25
Q

most common carrier gas for inhalant anesthesia

A

oxygen!100% oxygen causes more alveolar collapse than 40% O2 bc of the nitrogen in mixed gas is not absorbed and keep alveoli open longerabsorption atelectasis

26

A

TRUE

27

protect endo tracheal tube (tape, moist gauze) orHe : O2 ratio 70 : 30

28
Q

T/F the oxygen flowmeter should not be used with rebreathing circuits

A

FALSEthe oxygen flow meter should not be used with NONrebreathing circuits because of the significant risk of barotrauma

29
Q

when is a leak more noticeable under positive pressure mechanical ventilation

A

leaks are more noticeable during expiration when bellows are ascended

30
Q

initial pressure settings for dogs v cats on mechanical pressure cycled ventilation

A

Peak inspiratory pressurescats 12 mm Hgdogs 15 mm Hg

31

T/Foxygen content of the blood is largely dictated by [Hb]

A

TRUECaO2 = 1.34 x Hb x SaO2 + PaO2 x 0.003as Hb decr, CaCo2 decreases in a linear fashion (changes more radically with Hb than with PaO2)

hyperventilation –> hypocarbia (PCO2 < 25 mm Hg)1. resp alkalosis2. vasoconstriction

41
Q

T/Falveolar CO2 closely approximates arterial CO2

A

TRUEbc COs efficiently passes out of the blood stream and is exhaledmonitored by end tidal CO2 monitors as an accurate and reliable way to monitor PaCO2

42

bc high gas flow rates, end tidal CO2 will be diluted and read artificially lowcan be overcome with a side stream CO2 monitor that samples close to endotracheal tube

43
Q

normal capnograph reading and phases

A

begins with inspiration of fresh gas = 0 (phase 0on expiration, CO2 should rapidly elevate (phase 1)due to mixing with dead space and gas it will plateau (phase 2)peaks at the end of expiration (phase 3)next inspiration = 0 (phase 4)

44
Q

abN CO2 readings indicate

A

–confirms intubation–dx of impending cardiac arrest/cardiac arrest–rebreathing–malignant hyperthermia–disconnection of the circuit–dislodgment of endotracheal tube

45
Q

Pulse oximetry MOA

A

Estimates the % of Hb that is saturated with O2; ARTERIAL; relies on pulsatile nature–emits 2 light frequencies (specific for oxyHb & deoxyHb) through the tissue and into the sensor–calculates the amt of OxyHb and deoxyHb based on the amount of light arriving at the sensor% = amount of oxyHb

46

T/Fcarboxyhemoglobin and methemoglobin can affect pulse oximetry readings

A

TRUE

47

A

90%
