Q

Why does the calculating remaining L does not work with N2O tanks

A

N2O exists as both a liquid and a gas inside the cylinder. As long as the liquid remains in the cylinder, the partial pressure measure by the bourdon pressure gauge will remain 745

Q

What is the significance of a decrease in the N2O tank pressure?

A

The pressure of N2O begins to decrease only after all the liquid is gone and only gas remains. At this point, the cylinder is about 3/4 empty, so approximately 400L of N2O remains in the tank.

Q

How can you tell the oxygen failure pressure safety device is working?

A

Turn on the oxygen and nitrous oxide flow. Next, make sure the back up oxygen cylinder is closed, and then remove the source of oxygen pressure by disconnecting the oxygen pipeline. As you removed the oxygen source, be sure to observe the flowmeters. The nitrous oxide flow should stop before the oxygen flow stops,. Reintroducing the oxygen supply to the anesthesia machine should result in both gases restored to their previous rates.

Q 
You are using machine that couples fresh gas flow to tidal volume and fully compensates for circuit compliance. Calculate the total tidal volume delivered to the patient.
Oxygen= 3L/min
Air = 1L/min
I:E = 1:2
Bellows = 500ml
Respiratory rate = 10
A

632-633
Steps to calculate Fresh gas coupling
1. Convert fresh gas flow from L/min to ml /min (4L/m = 4000ml/min)
2. The I:E ratio is 1:2. Over the course of 1 min, the patient will spend 20 seconds in inspiratory and 40 seconds in expiration. Said another way, pt will spend 1/3 of the minute inspiring and 2/3 of the minutes expiring. Since only FGF during inspiration will be added to the TV set on the ventilator, multiples the total fresh gas flow by 1/3 or 33.33% (4000ml/min) x (1/3)= 1333 ml/min
3. The previous step established that over the course of a minute, 1333 ml will be added to the tidal volume. we need to calculate the TV per breath, so we divide 1333ml /10 breaths per min = 133 ml
4. Add the volume set on the ventilator to the FGF during inspiration (500 + 133) = 633ml

In summary;
(4000ml/min x 1/3) /10 = 133ml
133 + 500 = 633

Q

All modern anesthesia when it comes to the FGF and TV

A

All modern anesthesia machine separates FGF from tidal volume., therefore the TV you enter on the ventilator is what the patient receives. Older machines couple FGF to the TV set on the vent, may lead to errors in predicted Vt and minute ventilation

Q

A ventilator is programmed to deliver a tidal volume of 600ml. if the breathing circuit compliance is 5ml/cmH2O and the peak pressure is 25cm H2O. what is the total volume that is delivered to the patient?

A

When ventilator creates PPV inside a breathing circuit not all the gas causes circuit to expand and does not contribute to the TV. Therefore
5cm x 25 = 125 (to calculate volume lost to the circuit) ——> 600- 125 = 475

To fully understand the VARIABLE bypass concept, you must understand the _______What is the concept?

A

SPLITTING RATIO. when fresh gas flow enters the vaporizer , some of it encounters the liquid anesthetic, while the rest of it bypasses the anesthetic liquid. Before leaving the vaporizer, the TWO FRACTIONS mix and determine the final anesthetic concentration

160
Q

The O2 Flush valve delivers a continuous oxygen flow of

A

35-75 L/min at 50 PSI (pipeline pressure)N

161
Q

2 true statement about the O2 flush valve

A

Excessive use can lead to awareness

The risk of barotrauma is minimized by venilators with fresh gas DECOUPLING.

162
Q

Taught not to use O2 FLUSH VALVE WHEN patient on ventilator on OLD machine, why is it IRRELEVANT for newer machines?

A

During inspiration, the ventilator drive gas closes the VENTILATOR spill valve. Therefore, pressing the O2 Flush valve does not affect this function.

163
Q

What is the flush valve function? What does it bypass?

A

Provide a path for O2 to travel from the intermediate pressure system to the breathing circuit. Bypasses the low pressure system

164
Q

This with the O2 flush valve can lead to barotrauma? why?

A

Pressing the O2 flush valve during the INSPIRATORY cycle can lead to barotrauma. Because the spill valve is closed during inspiration, pressing the O2 flush valve would expose the breathing circuit and the patient to 50 psi and an oxygen flow rate of 35-75ml.min.

165
Q

It is critical that you do not do this during inspiration when the patient is on the ventilator

A

DO not press the oxygen flush during inspiration.

166
Q

What are the 2 functions of the drive gas of a pneumatic ventilator?

A

Compresses the bellows

Opens and closes the ventilator spill valve.

167
Q

What happens to the drive gas during inspiration? and why?

A

The drive gas closes ; to make sure the TV gets to the patient and not to the scanvenger.

168
Q

What happens to the drive gas during expiration? and why?

A

The flow of the drive gas stops.
The EXHLAED TV first refills the bellow and after the circuit pressure exceeds, 3cm H2O, the spill valve open and excess gas goes out of the scavenger.

169
Q

FGF is continuously

A

added to the breathing circuit.

170
Q

The amount of air going to the bellows is

A

the sum of TV + flowmeter flow during expiration .

171
Q

Action of drive gas on inspiration

A

Drive gas compresses bellows
Drive gas closes spill valve
FGF from vent goes to patient

172
Q

Action of drive gas on EXPIRATION

A

Expired gas refills the bellow
Bellows fills completely
When circuit pressure > 2-4 cmH2O, expired gas is directed through the spill valve to the scavenger.

173
Q

Anesthesia machine minimize the risk of barotrauma by

A

isolating tidal volume delivers by the ventilator from the flowmeters and oxygen flush valve. this is called gas decoupling. In the vents, what is set on the vent is what is actually delivered to the patient

174
Q

Preventing barotrauma also done by the_______how is it done?

A

Inspiratory pressure limiter can limit the breathing circuit during inspiration. When the breathing circuit pressure rises above the set point, the excess gas is vented out the scavenger. you can think of the inspiratory pressure limiter as an APL valve that affects the ventilator.

175
Q

How can pushing the O2 flush valve lead to awareness?

A

The gas from the oxygen flush does not pass through the vaporizers, excessive use of the oxygen flush valve adds gas to the breathing circuit that does not contain volatile anesthetics. As a result, it dilutes the partial pressure of volatile agent and may lead to patient awareness.

176

187
Q

What can happen when there is a leak in the bellows>

197
Q

On the piston vent, when does the negative pressure relief valve open? What does that prevent? And why is it important to the patient?

A

8 cm H2O. when pressure in the circuit falls below this value, the negative pressure relief valve open and let room air enter. Protect against negative end-expiratory pressure (NEEP_.

198
Q

Fresh gas Decoupling and piston ventilator

A

Piston vent decouples FGF from the vent and they deliver a consistent tidal volume regardless of the changes made in the fresh gas flow, RR, or I:E ratio. Many other vents, change in FGF, RR and I”: E will affect TV delivered to the patient

199
