Anesthesia Gas machine Flashcards
High Pressure components
Hanger Yoke
Yoke block w/ check valves
Cylinder pressure gauge
Cylinder pressure regulator
Intermediate Pressure components and psi
Begins at pipeline and ends at flowmeter valves
pipeline inlets
pressure gauges
O2 pressure failure device
O2 second stage regulator
O2 flush valve
Ventilator power inlet
Flowmeter valves
Low Pressure components
Flowmeter tubes (Thorpe)
Vaporizers
Check valve
Common Gas outlet
What does the low-pressure leak test assess?
the integrity of the low-pressure circuit from flowmeter valves to common gas outlet
High pressure leak test assesses the integrity of the….
low-pressure system and the breathing circuit
What are the 5 Tasks of O2 in the SPDD Model
- O2 pressure alarm
- O2 pressure failure devices
- O2 Flowmeter
- O2 Flush valve
- Ventilator drive gas
What does the PISS prevent?
Connecting the wrong cylinder to the anesthesia machine
PISS configurations (Air, O2, Nitrous Oxide)
Air = 1, 5
O2 = 2, 5
Nitrous = 3,5
What does the DISS system prevent?
Wrong gas hose connected to AGM
Cylinder Pressure of Air, O2 and NO2
Air = 1,900 psi
O2 = 1,900 psi
Nitrous Oxide = 745 psi
Max Volume of cylinders
Air = 625 L
O2 = 660 L
Nitrous Oxide = 1,590 L
Equation for how much O2 is in cylinder
Tank capacity (L) / Full tank pressure (psi)
X
Contents remaining (L) / Gauge pressure (psi)
How long will tank last? (equation)
Contents remaining (L) / FGF rate (L/mnin)
=
Minutes before tank expires
Oxygen pressure failure device (failsafe) will not….
WILL NOT alarm with O2 pipline crossover (measures pressure, NOT O2 concentration)
Oxygen pressure failure device (failsafe) will….
Will alarm when O2 tank is depleted, drop in O2 pipeline pressure, or dissconnected O2 hose
