Q

How to calculate O2 Flow Rate (L/min)

A

Add 4% for each liter after 1L being 24% to a max of 44% (6L)

18
Q

To ensure precise vaporizer output, the desflurane vaporizer heats the liquid anesthetic to ______ and __________.

A

39 C
pressurizes it to 2 atmospheres

19
Q

The Tec 6 vaporizer does not ________.

A

does not compensate for changes in elevation

20
Q

A ________ requires a higher setting on the dial of the Tec 6 vaporizer.

A

Lower ambient pressure (higher altitude)

21
Q

A _________ requires a lower setting on the dial in a Tec 6 vaporizer.

A

higher ambient pressure (hyperbaric oxygen tank)

22
Q

What is the FINAL defense against delivery of a hypoxic mixture?

A

Oxygen Analyzer!!!

-its the only device that measures O2 concentration

23
Q

Variable bypass method of vaporization?

24
Q

Tec 6 Desflurane method of vaporization?

A

Gas/Vapor blender (heat generates vapor that is injected into the fresh gas)

25
Q

Steps if you have O2 pipeline failure.

A
  1. turn on O2 cylinder and disconnect pipeline O2 supply
  2. verify if O2 concentration is increasing, IF NOT, then ventilate the pt w/ ambu bag connected to a DIFFERENT O2 tank (you will also need to convert to a TIVA(you no longer have gas since you are no longer using the AGM)
26
Q

Oxygen flush valve O2 flow

A

35-75 L/min

27
Q

Oxygen flush valve O2 pressure

28
Q

The mechanical spill valve is ________ during the inspiratory phase.

Pressing the O2 flush during inspiratory phase will…….

A

Closed!

transfer this pressure to pts lungs …… BAROTRAUMA!

29
Q

Ascending bellows _______ during expiration.

A

Rise
-Safer since if there is a circuit disconnect they will not continue to rise and fall.

30
Q

Descending bellows _______ doing expiration.

31
Q

VCV setting

A

preset TV over a predetermined time

-Fixed = TV, inspiratory flow rate and inspiratory time

Variable= PIP

32
Q

PCV setting

A

-preset inspiratory pressure over a predetermined time

Fixed = PIP and inspiratory time

Variable = TV and inspiratory flow

33
Q

T-burg will ______Vt.

A

decrease from decreased compliance

34
Q

When is PCV better than VCV?

35
Q

1st and 2nd most common causes of low pressure in circuit?

A
  1. circuit disconnect
  2. co2 absorbent canister has poor seal or defective
36
Q

Semi-open breathing circuit

A

FGF>minute ventilation

37
Q

semi-closed breathing circuit

A

FGF< minute ventilation

38
Q

Most common circle system related causes of rebreathing

A

-Incompetent unidirectional valve
-Exhausted CO2 absorbent

39
Q

Malfunction of unidirectional valves = ?

A

the space between the y-piece and the valve to be dead space (risk of hypercarbia)

40
Q

Best circuit for spontaneous ventilation? Worst?

A

Mapleson A (B is the worst)

41
Q

Best circuit for controlled ventilation? Worst?

A

Mapleson D (A is the worst)
