Anesthesia breathing systems ppt. Flashcards
all anesthesia breathing systems have 2 purposes. what are they?
delivery of O2/anesthestic gases
eliminatin of CO2
ALL breathing circuits create some degree of _______ to flow
resistance
Resistance to flow can be minimized by what 5 things
reducing the circuit’s length
increasing the diameter
avoiding the use of sharp bends (turbulent flow)
eliminating unnecessary valves
Maintaining laminar flow
who law describes that increasing the diameter can reduce resistance?
poiseuille
resistance is ___________ proportional to flow rate with laminar flow?
indirectly
resistance increases and flow decreases
for turbulent flow what is more important in relation to resistance and flow. density or viscosity?
density
(my rational the more dense = more turbulent)
resistance is proportional to __________ of flow rate (turbulent flow)
square
what type of flow is orderly movement of gas inside a “hose”
laminar flow
with laminar flow where does the gas move the fastest at?
what type of flow is seen with sudden narrowing or with branching of a tube?
turbulent flow
what is increased with turbulent flow??
resistance
Lmainar flow becomes turbulent when reynolds number is what
> 2000
Poiseuille’s Law follows what type of flow?
Laminar
formula for resistance
R= 8 n l / r4
R= resistance
n= viscsity
l=length
r=radius
an ex of resistance is: when you double the radius of the tube, it will decrease the resistance by how much
16 times
22= 16
Traditional attempts to classify breathing circuits combine ______ aspects with _______ characteristics
functional aspects (eg, extent of rebreathing)
Physical characteristics (eg, presence of valves)
Classifications of breathing systems are based on the presence or absence of what 4 things
- A gas reservoir bag
- rebreathing of exhaled gases
- Means to chemically neutralize CO2
- Unidirectional valves
what does the gas reservoir bag do?
provides gas for the moment during inspiratin where flow in the trachea is greater than fresh gas flow (FGF)
4 diferent classifications of breathing systems
- OPen
- Semiopen
- semiclosed
- Closed
what is the fuctions (2) of any breathing circuit?
deliver O2 and gases
Eliminate CO2
what are the 2 ways that the breathing circuit can eliminate CO2
washout with adequate FGF
or
by soda lime absorption
for the following tyes of breathing circuits, tell if they have a reservoir, if they allow rebreathing and give and example of each
Open
semiopen
Semiclosed
Closed
type Reservoir Rebreathing EX
Open NO No Open gtt, insufflation, NC
Semiopen Yes No Non rebreathing circuit; circle @ high gas flow
Semiclosed Yes Yes (partial) Circle @ fresh gas flow less than MV
Closed Yes Yes (complete) Circle @ extremly low FGF, with APL valve closed
an open gtt, insufflation, and nasal cannula are ex of wha type of breathing circuit?
Open
with the open breathing curcuits is there a reservoir? what abot rebreathing?
nope
and
nope
a non rebreathing circuit and a circle at high FGF is an ex of what type of breathing curcuit?
semiopen
with the semiopen curcuits is there a reservoir? what about rebreathing?
yes
and
no
A circle system at FGF less than MV is an example of what type of breathing circuit?
semiclosed
