Q

Bernoulli’s principle

A
  1. velocity and pressure are INVERSE (velocity increases, pressure decreases)
  2. Applies ONLY to liquids and gases
  3. As velocity increases through a constant area, pressure on the lumen wall decreases, resulting in a tendency to collapse

A
  1. combo of Gay-lussac’s/boyle’s law, and charles law

17
Q

Standard molar volume in STP

A

22.71 L

18
Q

Gay-Lussac Law

A
  1. Temp and pressure are proportional
19
Q

Graham’s Law

A
  1. Deals with diffusion and effusion of gases

2. Rate of effusion INVERSE to square root of MW

20
Q

Poiseuille’s Law

A
  1. Describes relationship of the amount of fluid flowing through tube
  2. Viscosity INVERS flow; radius directly proportional to flow
  3. Q = πPr^4 / 8nL: Q=flow, pressure, radius, n=viscosity, Length
21
Q

A
  1. Draws from Charles Law and Boyle’s Law
  2. P1T2=P2T1
  3. Pressure is proportional to temperature
22
Q

What cuff pressure, if exceeded, causes tracheal granulation, ulceration of stenosis

A

30 mmHg

23
Q

Boyle’s Law

A
  1. Pressure INVERSE volume

2. P1V1 = P2V2

24
Q

Fick’s Law

A
  1. Rate of transfer DIRECTLY proportional to driving force (diffusion coefficient), surface area, and INVERSE proportional to thickness of membrane barrier
  2. Driving force is partial pressure difference NOT concentration difference
25
Q

Law of LaPlace

A
  1. Smaller radius the greater collapsing pressure

2. Greater radius LESSER collapsing pressure

26
Q

3 Main factorsthat affect anesthetic uptake

A
  1. Solubility in blood
  2. Alveolar blood flow
  3. Difference in PP between alveolar gas and venous return
