What is the volume capacity of a ____ cylinder is 660L and the volume capacity found in the ____ cylinder is 6600L.
E cylinder: 660L H cylinder: 6600L
Both the H and E cylinder are filled to a pressure of ____ psi.
2200Psi
True/False: Pressure is inporportional to volume
False **proportional
What is the calculation to determine the remianing O2 in a tank?
2200psi/660L = psi left on E tank / x liters
How do you figure out how many minutes of O2 are left?
minutes remianing = x liters/ flow (liters/min)
True/False: It is not possible to calculate the amount of N2O gas remaining in the cylinder based upon the pressure of liquid that remains.
True
What decreases tank pressure ot a safe working pressure (approximately 50 psi) which is then supplied to the flowmeter?
Regulator
True/False: Gas enters at the bottom of the flowmeter at 50 psi and exits at the top of the flowmeter at 15 psi.
True
What system delivers O2 from the intermediate pressure area of the machine (50psi)?
Quick flush
What are examples of vapor inhalants
Halothane Isoflurane Sevoflurane Desflurane
What controls the rate of gas flow through the vaporizer?
Flowmeter
What is the first thing that you should do before the O2 flush valve is used?
Disconnect the patient from the curcuit temporarily
Where do we read the flow?
Middle of the ball and top of the bobbin
Between what rate does the quick flush deliver gas directly to the patient circuit?
35-75 L/min
Where is the O2 flowmeter located?
Right of the N2O flowmeter
What would be the % O2 delivered to a patient if there was 1L of O2 and 6 L N2O?
14% 1 L O2 + 6 L N2O = 7 O2 = 1 / 7 = 14%
When do you want to use the quick flush?
In an emergency or recovery to quickly decrease anesthtic gas % in the circuit
