Anesthesia Gas Laws Flashcards
Know it!
1
Q
Poiseuille’s Law
A
- Gas through flowmeters
2. Selection of ETT/IV catheter sizes
2
Q
Henry’s Law anesthesia
A
- Over-pressurizing anesthetic gases
- Increasing deliver of O2 by increasing concentration
- Hyperbaric O2 chamber
3
Q
Boyle’s Law
A
- Squeezing bag to ventilate a patient
- Diaphragm contracts and inspiration begins, diaphragm relaxes and exhalation begins
- Hyperbaric O2 therapy
- Bellows
4
Q
Bernoulli’s principle
A
- Ventrain/jet ventilation
- Venturi mask
- Scavenge system
5
Q
Avogadro’s hpothesis
A
How much gas in E-cylinder
6
Q
Charle’s law
A
ETT cuff pressure
&
Regulation of anesthetic gas through metal strip
7
Q
3rd gas law/Gay-Lussac’s Law
A
- steel tanks will explode when heated
- Regulation of anesthetic gas through metal strip
- Medical gas cylinders, ETTs, hydrogen thermometers
8
Q
Univers gas law or ideal gas law
A
- amount of inhalation agent delivered to patient would increase/decrease depending on temperature compensative valves
- Emptying of an E-clinder
9
Q
Graham’s Law
A
- Flow meters must be calibrated with correct gas or they would be inaccurate
- How anesthetic gases diffuse and effusion
10
Q
Law of Laplace
A
- Ventilation and pressure
- AS and preload
- Collapsing pressure of alveoli and ability to keep open
- Surface tension, alvoli radius, lung compliance
11
Q
Fick’s law anesthesia
A
- Pt with COPD will have reduced area for gas exchange to transpire & decreased speed of onset of anesthetic agents
12
Q
Dalton’s law
A
- Total pressure of mixture of gases is equal to each gases individual partial pressure
13
Q
Avogadrado’s hypothesis
A
- Equal volumes of gasses at a constant temperature and pressure have equal amounts of atoms and molecules
- 1 mole = 6.023 x 10^23
- Lead to discovery of universal gas law
14
Q
Bernoulli’s principle
A
- velocity and pressure are INVERSE (velocity increases, pressure decreases)
- Applies ONLY to liquids and gases
- As velocity increases through a constant area, pressure on the lumen wall decreases, resulting in a tendency to collapse
15
Q
Charles Law
A
- Temp and vol are proportional
- V1T2 = V2T1
