Q

Why is helium vs heliox different and what can they be used for? how does it effect flow?

A
  • Helium has a low density so heliox decreases the work of breathing and restores laminar flow (obstruction causes flow to be turbulent so a low density gas mixture makes breathing easier)
  • asthma attacks

Q

Henry’s law

A

-amount of gas that dissolves in a liquid is proportional to the partial pressure (P) of the gas.
- this allows calculation of dissolved O2 and CO2 in the blood

Q

Graham’s law of effusion

A
  • Diffusion is net movement of a gas from an area of high concentration (pressure) to an area of lower concentration
  • effusion is the movement of a gas through a pinhole

To determine the amount of O2 dissolved in blood,
PaO2 X 0.003 = mL/100 mL
26
To determine the amount of CO2 dissolved in blood,
PaCO2 X 0.067 =___ mL/100 mL
27
Squeezing an ambu bag is an example of which empirical gas laws?
Boyle's law During inspiration, thoracic volume is increased and the pressure goes down. During expiration, thoracic volume decreases and pressure goes up.
28
Inflatable cuff of larungeal mask airway expanding when placed into a autoclave is an example of which empirical gas laws?
Charle's law
29
Hot air balloon is an example of which empirical gas laws?
Charle's law
30
Tire pressure warning in winter is an example of which empirical gas laws?
Gay Lussac's law Pressure is directly proportional to absolute temperature . Volume is CONSTANT.
31
Alveolar gas equation
PAO2 =PIO2-PACO2 /R PAO2= alveolar PO2 PIO2= inspired PO2 PACO2= alveolar PCO2=arterial PCO2 R=respiratory quotient (0.8)
32
Avogadro's number
6.022 x 10 ^23 occupies 22.4 L for every gas. All gasses have the same volume. Ex. two moles of N2O occupies 22.4 L x 2= 44.8 L
33
Law of Laplace (cylindrically shaped structures)
1. tension is generated by a structure (newton/cm) 2. If the cylindrical structure expands (increase radius), the tension (force) in the wall (T) of the structure increases ex: aortic aneurysm more likely to rupture than normal segment of aorta small capillaries don't burst with High BP but the large vessels will. The greater the filing of LV, the greater the tension in the ventricular wall. The greater then tension the greater the SV. Small diameter capillaries do not burst during the high BP and larger vessel may.
34
Law of laplace for cylindrical shaper structures formula
T=P x r
35
Law of laplace for spherically shaped structures formula
T= (P x r )/2
36
Law of laplace for spherically shaped structures
1. Tension is independent of radius of all spheres where there is liquid-air interface 2. Because tension is independent of size, pressure inside the bubble will change with size
37
Smaller Smaller alveoli have higher pressure and will empty into larger alveoli (like soap bubbles) leading to
atelectasis without surfactant
38
Fick's law of diffusion
- directly proportional to pressure gradient, membrane area and has solubility - inversely proportional to membrane thickness and square root of molecular weight - P is the driving force for diffusion

If someone has high BP,
they have to work x16 harder to keep the flow going.
43
How do you apply Poiseuille's law while transfusing packed RBCs?
lower gauge (Increased diameter), shorter length, pressure bag, dilution by adding normal saline (to decrease viscosity).
44
Flow becomes turbulent if
-Velocity of flow is high -Tube wall is rough (corrugated) -Kinks, bends, narrowing or branches in the tube -Fluid flow through orifice
45

58
atelactasis in the patient with ARDS is explained by ______ law
Laplace
59
Why can turning on the N2O cause an increase in volume in gas spaces in the body?
NO2 has low blood gas. equals high pressure in the alveoli. leads to quick induction
60
Why CO2 diffuses 20 times faster across respiratory membrane then O2 ?
61
Low blood:gas partition coefficient
-rapid rise of partial pressure  rapid transfer of gas from lungs to blood and brain  rapid onset and recovery ( Example nitrous oxide) – N2O quickly leaves the blood and increase partial pressure in alveoli
62
High blood:gas partition coefficient
slow rise of partial pressure  slow transfer of gas from lungs to blood and brain  slow onset and recovery ( Example halothane) – Once dissolve in blood , the anesthetic agent will exert NO partial pressure.
63

64

- high blood solubility - low lipid solubility
