ANESTHESIA MACHINE Flashcards
How to assess a high-pressure leak test?
Close APL and pressure O2 flush. Airway pressure should remain constant
How to assess a low-pressure leak test?
attach a bulb to the common gas outlet and create a negative pressure. The bulb should not inflate for 10 seconds or test failed. Check with each vaporizer. checks for negative pressure.
what is the PSI and components for high-pressure system?
High pressure 45-2000 PSI
Cylinders Pressure
What is the PSI and components for low-pressure system?
Low pressure 15-30 PSI
flow-meter and common gas outlet
What is the PSI and components for intermediate pressure system?
35-45 PSI
Oxygen flush valve and pipelines
What is the 5 task of oxygen for the anesthesia machine?
O2 flush valve O2 failure alarm O2 failure device Ventilator gas drive Flowmeter
What is PISS?
Pin Index Safety System prevents the use of the wrong gas cylinder, PISS
What id DISS?
Diameter Index Safety System prevents the wrong connection of the gas hose.
What is the max pressure, volume, and configuration of air?
Air max pressure 1900 PSI
Air max volume 625 L
Pin 1-5
What is the max pressure, volume, and configuration of oxygen?
Oxygen max pressure 1900 PSI
Oxygen max volume 660
Oxygen Pin 2-5
What is the max pressure, volume, and configuration of nitroeous oxude?
Nitreous OXide 745 PSI
Nitreous Oxide max volume 1590
Nitreous Oxide 3-5
Oxygen pressure failure activates when?
FiO2 falls below 20-25. NItreous shuts off at oxygen pressure less than 20PSI. Never leave your cylinder open. Use wall gases. Only use sylinder for backup purposes.
Nitreous Mixture to Oxygen Ratio
no more than 3:1
