Q

What is DISS, KISS, and PISS?

Name the right PISS for each gas and what is the size for the pins?

A

Safety features when hooking up connections:
1. diameter index safety system for pipeline (body, nipple, nut connection)
2. key index safety system for vaporizer
3. pin index safety system for cylinder tanks:
O2 = 2 + 5, N2O = 3 + 5, Air = 1 + 5
-pin diameter = 4mm, length = 6mm

Q

What does the O2 pressure sensor shut off valve do?

A

It will shut off/turn down N2O if it loses pressure in O2

Q

Describe the 2 types of O2 pressure sensor shut off valves:

  1. proportional link
  2. threshold valve
A
  1. will decrease N2O proportionally to decreased pressures in O2, if O2 is too low, it will shut off N2O
  2. if detects loss of O2 below threshold, N2O will shut off
17
Q

Name 3 safety mechanism on flowmeters.

A
  1. color coded system (O2 = green, N2O = blue, Air = yellow)
  2. knobs (O2 is different)
  3. O2 flowmeter is always furthest downstream
18
Q

Which pressure system is most vulnerable to breakage?

A

low pressure system

19
Q

What is the negative pressure leak test?

A
  • master switch, flow valves, vaporizers OFF
  • apply suction bulb to common gas outlet
  • squeeze bulb til it collapses = vaccuum of neg pressure
  • if bulb stays collapsed for 10 sec = PASS, otherwise fail and there may be a leak in the system
20
Q

What does the circle system check evaluate?

A

breathing circuit (common gas outlet to the y-piece)

21
Q

How do you perform a (breathing) circuit leak test?

A

-occlude Y-piece
-close APL valve
-use O2 flush valve to increase pressure to 30 cm of H2O
(if able to reach 30 cm then it is patent)

22
Q

How do you perform a flow test?

A
  • attach breathing bag (lungs) to y-piece
  • turn on vent
  • assess unidirectional valves
23
Q

What is the flow of gas in a simple circle system? (9 steps)

A 
inspiration:
1. gas enters from common gas outlet
2. thru insp limb one-way valve
3. thru insp breathing tube (limb)
4. thru y-piece to patient
expiration:
5. from patient to exp breathing tube (limb)
6. thru exp limb one-way valve
7. in/out of reservoir bag
8. CO2 absorber (top to bottom)
9. back towards patient
