Anesthesia Machine Parts Flashcards
What are the 3 types of valves
1.Free floating : one way 2.Ball and Spring valve : All or none valve 3.Diaphragm: Pressure Reducer Valve
Pressure
one 1L of oxygen , 1000psi may be
All anesthesia machines have about the
same parts
Endoskeleton of the machine
1st stage vs 2nd stage regulator.
one way valve
Free floating inhale : expiratory valve (close) exhale: inspiratory valve (open) expiratory valve open when you exhale E-Cylinder APRV or Pop Off valve (manually operated) Gas flow pushes gas to valve seat
Function of floating Valve
prevent gases from escaping the closed circuit system.
Radicals , macrophages, and eosinophils are mobilized
when the patient is given 100% oxygen
Pop off valve : turned to the right? what happens? Turn to the left –> ?
turned to the right (tighten , all the gas goes to the bag and the patient. Lefty loosy, more of the gas goes out the scavenging system
Pop off valve (APRV)
The more difficult, close more The less difficult, open a little more
One way free floating
from tank to patient, (one way out)
If you have 2 oxygen cylinders 1100 psi vs 1000 which one will deliver the pressure
1100 then both The cylinder with the higher pressure will deliver more oxygen.
DISS wall valve
Diameter Index Safety System (DISS) Idiot proof
Green yellow blue
Oxygen, air, nitrous oxide.
PISS
Pin Index Safety System (E-Cylinder) Different pin for each (Oxygen, nitrous)
Bourdon gauge
it measures pressure generated from its sources (bag, e-cylinder, ventilator or wall) Importance lies when bagging the patient with a mask: STAY below 20cmH2…(adjust pop off valve) Why? Barotrauma, ESOPHAGEAL SPHINCTER will open with 15cmH2O. IF you need to ventilated can go UP , (Smoking, obesity, OSA)
Inhale Know pressure and lung volume End Tidal is the opposite of
peak, plateau , exhale Inspiratory pressure.
Tidal volume x RR
minute ventilation
Ultrasonic flow meter
back of machine, light blue Tall blue dark (The WRIGHT SPIROMETER) measures TV and RR (which is minute ventilation)
Ultrasonic flow meter vs Wright spirometer
Highly accurate not affected by flow situations= Ultrasonic flow meter The wright spirometer= Does not measure volume directly
One way valve All of them measure
Bourdon gauge , ultrasonic flow meter EXHALATION
Expiration vs inhalation
Expiration is longer (passive) normal require passive
Fast ambu bag delivery
it will cause barotrauma.
How long to wait for sats
30 seconds
Alveolar recruitment maneuver (ARM)
Read
Ball & Spring (All or none) Valve
O2 wall connector think of when you applying valve to a wall, (push it in) REQUIRES ENERGY TO ACTIVATE
Flush valve generates ___to ____L/min and can cause __________if pressed too much or can also dilute out the volatile anesthetic being administered.
generates 35 to 75 L/min –> Barotrauma
Diaphragm Function Pressure _____and _____pressure first stage? 2nd stage?
Reduce pressure throughout the system pressure regulator/Reduce pressure First stage: reduce for both O2 and N2O to 40-55psig 2nd stage: Reduces internal intermediate pressure to 15psig (low pressure)
Diaphragm (pressure _____and _____Pressure)
pressure regulator/Reduce pressure First stage: reduce for both O2 and N2O to 40-55psig (intermediate pressure) 2nd stage: Reduces internal intermediate pressure to 15psig (low pressure)
Intermediate (normal)
40-55
Back up pressure
cylinders
Oxygen Fail Safe Mechanisms
Oxygen failure protection device: Flow dependent If oxygen is lower then 25 psig, N2O will shut off
Datex Ohmeda
PROPORTION LIMITING SYSTEM Drager: Limits flow of N2O according to O2 flow.
