When does Fa:Fi approach 1

A

as the blood gets saturated w/agent

32
Q

Fa:Fi curve

A

depicts how fast the Fa:Fi ratio approaches 1

33
Q

Fa:Fi curve steep slope

A

agent builds up quickly in lungs
lower blood solubility = faster induction

34
Q

Fa:Fi curve gradual slope

A

agent builds up more slowly in lungs
higher blood solubility = slower induction

35
Q

why is N2O curve steeper than Des?

A

N2O is given in much higher concentrations (25-75%) compared to Des at 6-8%

higher concentrations lead to faster buildup in lungs (Fa)

36
Q

Ways to speed up inhalational induction (4)

A
  1. higher percentage of agent
  2. higher fresh gas flow (FGF)
  3. choose agent w/lowest blood solubility

55
Q

to decrease the agent concentration in machine and lungs faster, what can you do?

A

increase FGF rate

56
Q

low blood solubility: emergence

A

faster

agent wants to get out of blood
diffuses more quickly into lungs

57
Q

high blood solubility: emergence

A

slower

agent wants to stay in blood
diffuses slower into lungs

58
Q

factors that cause slower wakeup (13)

A
  1. older age
  2. obesity (more agent in fat)
  3. long sx times (more agent in fat)
  4. sx w/higher [agent] (more agent in fat)
  5. high blood solubility volatile agent
  6. higher dose narcotics
  7. lower FGF (emergence)
  8. lower minute ventilation (emergence)
  9. closed APL valve (emergence)
  10. higher FRC
  11. lung disease
  12. low CO
  13. hypothermia

10-15 L/min

61
Q

how does a closed APL valve slow down emergence?

A

more rebreathing of agent

62
Q

pediatrics emergence

A

faster than adults

peds have higher % blood flow to vessel rich group

lower % blood flow going to fat

faster on
faster off

63
Q

A
  1. higher minute ventilation (faster RR)
  2. lower FRC
  3. higher % BF to vessel rich (less to fat)
