Q

Why should a patient ≥ 5kg use a rebreathing system

A

Dead space exits the rebreathing system where the inspiratory and expiratory breathing tubes meet at the patient (the Y piece). This is enough to cause rebreathing of CO2 in small patients

Q

What are the ingredients in soda lime

A

Sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, water, and calcium hydroxide

17
Q

Soda lime MOA

A

CO2 reacts with water to form carbonic acid which then dissociates to free protons and carbonate

18
Q

How could a dual flow meter aid in preventing alveolar collapse

A

Dual flow meter is used to mix two gases. To prevent alveolar collapse mix 100% oxygen with medical air or nitrogen. Nitrogen will provide a scaffold for alveoli once all O2 is removed by pulmonary blood flow

19
Q

How does a higher fresh gas flow affect soda lime

A

The absorbent may lose water to evaporation and become less effective

20
Q

What is PEEP and IPPV effect on cardiac output

A

PEEP benefits oxygenation without negatively impacting cardiac output and prevents alveolar collapse
IPPV depresses CO

21
Q

What causes a progressive increase in ETCO2 plateau

A

Hypoventilation

22
Q

What causes a progressive decrease in ETCO2 plateau

A

Hyperventilation

23
Q

Causes of hypoventilation

A

Neuromuscular disorders
Diaphragmatic hernia
Pleural space disease
Flail chest
Airway obstruction
CNS disorders
CO2 in tissues is increased and the lungs are incapable of expelling the excess - Malignant hyperthermia and heatstroke

24
Q

Purpose of adding helium to oxygen

A

Helium may be combined with oxygen in a 70:30 ratio to protect against fires caused by laser ignition of anesthetic carrier gas.

25
Q

Cause of absorption atelectasis

A

Oxygen is rapidly absorbed from the alveoli. An alveolus filled with 100% oxygen will gradually collapse as that oxygen is removed by the pulmonary blood flow.

26
Q

How to prevent absorption atelectasis

A

Mix with other gas such as nitrogen which provides structural support to the alveolus or PEEP at 5cm H2O.

27
Q

Is the inhalant vaporizer knob indicative of the concentration of inhalant in the rebreathing circuit? Explain

A

No, the circuit concentration of the inhalant to start is 0%. Incoming inhalant increases the concentration but there’s some already in the circuit so it’s diluted and doesn’t match what’s set on the vaporizer.

28
Q

Is the inhalant vaporizer knob indicative of the concentration of inhalant in the non-rebreathing circuit? Explain

A

Yes - common gas outlet enters near the patient, the gas from the common gas outlet is delivered directly to the patient. - no dilution occurs as does with rebreathing system

29
Q

If rebreathing of CO2 is seen on capnograph but absorbent is not discolored, does the absorbent need to be changed

A

Yes

30
Q

T/F: If flow rate is high then the condensation results in an increased weight of CO2 obsorbent

A

False, At higher fresh gas flows, the absorbent may lose water to evaporation and become less effective

31
Q

Label each

A

A. Normal
B. Hypoventilation
C. Rebreathing CO2
D. Leak
E. Hyperventilation
F. Cardiac arrest

32
Q

How do one way valves affect gas flow

A

During inspiration, the inspiratory one way valve opens, allowing gas to move from the fresh gas inlet and reservoir bag to the valve into the inspiratory limb of the breathing circuit

During expiration, the inspiratory valve is closed , preventing exhaled gas from entering the inspiratory limb of the breathing circuit, forcing it into the expiratory limb of the breathing circuit

The inspiratory valve helps direct gas into the expiratory limb of the breathing system

33
Q

How to calculate reservoir bag

A

[BWkg x TV (10-20 ml/kg)] x 5-10

5-10 x the patients normal tidal volume

34
Q

How are vaporizers classified (5 classes)

A

Regulation of vapor output
Method of vaporization
Vaporizer location in the anesthetic circuit
Temperature compensation
Agent specificity

35
Q

MOA of beta-blockers when given under anesthesia to decrease blood pressure

A

Control blood pressure through reduction in HR and CO
Also inhibit RAS due to blockade of B1-adrenergic receptors at the juxtaglomerular apparatus

36
Q

What is the order of MAC in dogs and cats for isoflurane, sevoflurane, and desflurane

A

Dogs have a lower MAC
Isoflurane 1.3%
Sevoflurane 2.1%
Desflurane 7.2%

Cats have a higher MAC
Isoflurane 1.7%
Sevoflurane 3.1%
Desflurane 10.3%

37
Q

What are the cardiovascular effects of IPPV

A

Alters CV function by changing the intrathoracic pressure and lung volume. This effects CV directly by altering preload, after load, and/or HR.
Intrapleural pressure increases during inspiration, leading to a decrease in venous return and right ventricular output
IPPV increases vagal tone and reduces sympathetic input therefore decreasing heart rate - which decreases cardiac output.

38
Q

What are the physicals signs of anesthetic depth within stage III

A

Plane 1 - light - central eyeball position, positive palpebral, medium to large pupil size, positive PLR, Moist cornea, lots of eyelid muscle tone, lots of mandibular muscle tone, reflex movement to nociception - maybe, physiologic response to nociception present

Plane 2 - Light-medium - rotated or med/vent eye ball, absent palpebral, small to medium pupil size, positive PLR, moist cornea, some eyelid muscle tone, some mandibular muscle tone, no reflex movement to nociception, maybe physiologic response to nociception

Plane 3 - Deep-medium - rotated or med/vent eyeball, medium to large pupil size, absent PLR, intermediate corneal moistness, little eyelid and mandibular muscle tone, absent physiologic response to nociception.

Plane 4 - Deep - Central eyeball, large pupil size, dry cornea, absent eyelid and mandibular muscle tone

39
Q

Define hyperalgesia

A

An exaggerated and prolonged response to a noxious stimulus
