***_reservior?_*** YES ***_rebreathing?_*** NO ***_neutralization of CO2?_*** NO ***_Unidirectional Valves?_*** NO ***_what is important about FGF?_*** the FGF needs to EXCEED MV (2-3 times MN to prevent rebreathing) MINIMUM FGF _5Lpm_ ***_Examples_*** 1. Mapleson A,B,C,D 2. Bain 3. Jackson-Rees
34
Breathing system classifications Semiclosed A type of what system? reservior? rebreathing? neutralization of CO2? Unidirectional Valves (if so how many and what are they)? what is important about FGF? Example?
***_A type of what system?_***"CIRCLE SYSTEM" ***_reservior?_*** YES (ALWAYS) ***_rebreathing?_*** PARTIAL (EXHALED GASES) ***_neutralization of CO2?_*** YES (ALWAYS) ***_Unidirectional Valves (if so how many and what are they)?_*** YES; 3, (INSPIRATORY, EXPIRATORY, APL) ***_what is important about FGF?_*** FGF IS LESS THAN MV ***_Example?_*** 1. THE MACHINE WE USE EVERYDAY
35
Classification of breathing systems CLOSED reservior? rebreathing? neutralization of CO2? Unidirectional Valves ? Example/ SIDE NOTE?
reservior? YES (ALWAYS) rebreathing? YES (TOTAL) neutralization of CO2? YES (ALWAYS) Unidirectional Valves ? YES (ALWAYS) Example/SIDE NOTE? WE DON'T USE THESE.... SUFFICE TO SAY YOU CAN DO THIS WITH THE MACHINES WE HAVE IF YOU KEEP THE FGF TO METABOLIC REQUIREMENT AROUNG 150ML/MIN (supply of O2, N2O, and VAA just matches pt's requirement) IF PT SPONTANEOUSLY VENTILATING, APL VALVCE SHOULD BE CLOSED (no scavenging since no waste ⇒ total rebreathing)
36
All the retarded info you'll need about nonrebreathing circuits!!! (Just look at I don't think it's important and its alot of shit)
Mapleson classification-1954 * Mapleson D sill commonly used * the modified Mapleson D is also called the bain. Arrangement of components are similar in both. The main difference is that the bain has the fresh gas hose inside the expiratory corrugated limb. unregnized kinking of the inner inspiratory hose will convert the expiratory outer hose into dead space. * Mapleson F- better known as Jackson-Rees modificatin of Ayre'sT-piece * used almost extensivly in children * Very low resistance to breathing * The degree of rebreathing is influenced by method of ventilation * Adjustable overflow valve * Delivery of FGF should be at least 2 x's Minute volume
37
All non-rebreathing (NRB) circuits lack what 2 things?
1. Unidirectional valves (insp and exp) 2. soda lime CO2 absorption
38
with the NRB circuit (semiopen)the amount of rebreathing is highly dependent on what?
FGF (need high FGF to llow nonrebreathing)
39
with nonrebreathing circuits (simiopen) what makes the work of breathing low?
no unidiredctional valves or sodalime granules to create resistance
40
how do non-rebreathing circuits work?
* During EXPIRATION, FGF pushes exhaled gas down the expiratory limb, where it collects in the reservoir (breathing) bag and opens the pop off (APL) valve * the next inspiration draws on the gas in the expiratory limb. The exp limb will have less CO2 (less rebreathing0 if FGF is high, TV is low, and the duration of the exp pause is long * all NRB circuits are convenient, lightweight, easily scavenged( if using appropriate FGF)
41
Advantages of nonrebreathing circuits (Mapleson)
used during transport of children Minimal dead space, low resistance to breathing Scavenging
42
Disdvantages of nonrebreathing circuits (Mapleson)
Scavenging (variable ability dependent on FGF) High flows required (cools child, costly) Lack of humidification (except for Bain) Possibility of high airway prssures (barotrauma) Unreconized kink of inner hose in Bain Pollution and higher cost Difficult to assemble
43
Pic of Mapleson to see what you just learned
44
with the Mapleson what will determine the performance and classification?
the fresh gas inlet (refer to pic again and notice the FGF inlets)
45
how does the APL valve work witht he mapleson? (a nonrebreathing simiopen system) how is it positioned during spont ventilation? how is it positioned for assisted ventilation?
- if gas inflow \> pt's uptake and circuit uptake = preesure buildup and opens APL (gas out via scavenger) - fully open - partial closure ehile squeezing breathing bag
46
with the mapleson ***_A***_ why is it a bad choice for mechanical ventilation? and why is it a good choice for spont_***A_***neous ventilation
- mechanical bad- since no gas is vented during expiration, high unpredictable FGF (\> 3 times MV) needed to prevent rebreathing - Spont***_A_***neous good- since a FGF = MV will be enough to prevent rebreathing notice the ***_A_***
47
name the types of Mapleson
48
which version of the mapleson uses FGF to force alveolar gas away from the pt toward the APL valve? it is very effecient during contraolled ventilation
Mapleson ***_D_*** efficient controlle***_D_*** ventilation
49
The mapleson D is also called what
Bain system
50
what is the tubing like with the bain (mapleson D) system for FGF and exhaled gas
fresh gas enters through a norrow inner tube exhaled gas exits through a currugated outer tube
51
what are the FGF rates that are required for the Mapleson D (Bain) system? spontaneous Controlled ventilation
200-300ml/kg/min (2times Ve) spont 70 ml/kg.min controlled
52
with the Bain system in the spontaneous mode what must you remember to do first, before connecting to the pt to it?
fill the breathing system with FG
53
with the bain system it has been mathmatically calculated and clinically proven that the FGF shold be a least what times the pt's MV in order to minimize rebreathing (high flows)
1.5 - 2 times
54
Advantages of the Bain ( maplesin D)
Warming of FG inflow by surrounding exhales gases Improved humidification with partial rebreathing Ease of scavenging waste gases Overflow/presure valve (APL) disposable/sterile
55
Disadvantages of the Bain (modified mapleson D system)
Unrecognized disconnection kinking of the inner FGF tubing Needs high flows Not easily converted to portable when commercialy used in anesthesia machine
56
what makes the Bain different from the standard mapleson D
APL valve addition
57
what ia a way to test the unique hazard of the bain circuit to have an occult disconnection or kinking of the inner hose (FG delivery hose)
Pethicks test
58
How do you perform the Pethicks's test
1. occulde the pt's end of the cicuit (at the elbow) 2. close the APL valve 3. fill the circuit, using the O2 flush valve (like pressurizing the circuit when you are doing a leak test) 4. Release the occlusion at the elbow and flush. a venturi effect flattens the reservoir bag if the inner tube is patent.
59
what is included in the circular system?
1. FGF 2. Ins limp 3. exp limp 4. unidirectional valves 5. spill valve 6. Reservoir bag 7. CO2 absorber 8. Bellows (per book)
60
what part of the circular system is placed in close proximity to the pt to prevent backflow into inspiratory limb if circuit leak develops?
Unidirectional valves
61
what is placed b/t the absorber and inspiratory valve in the circle system.
Fresh gas outlet Side note - of placed down stream from insp valve it would allow FG to bypass pt during exhalation and be wasted. If FG were placed b/t expiration valve and absorber FG would be diluted by recirculating gas
62
where are the unidirectional valves located in the circle system
in clos proximity to the pt
63
where is the fresh gas inlet placed in the circle system
b/t the absorber an the insp valve
64
what is placed immediately before the absorber to conserve absorption capacity and to minimize venting of FG
APL valve (spill valve)
65
in the circulatory system what is placed in the expiratory limb to decrease the resistance to exhalation.
Breathing bag
66
where is the APL (spill) valve located in the circular system? what does it do?
immediatly before the absorber to conserve absorption capacity and to minimize venting FG
67
where is the breathing bag placed in the circulatory system? what does it do?
in the exp limb to decrease resistance to exhalation
68
the Breathing bag compression during controlled ventilation will do what
vent alveolar gas through APL valve, conserving absorbant.
