39
laminar flow being determined by gas viscosity is related to which law
poiseuilles law
40
laminar flow being determined by gas density is related to which law
grahams law
41
describe laminar flow and real world examples
all molecules travel in parallel pattern (<2,000) molecules in the center of the tube travel at the fastest rate while the molecules near the walls of the tube travel at the slowest rate examples: air flow in terminal bronchioles, BF in systemic circulaiton
42
describe turbulent flow and real world examples
chaotic flow. usually produced by: orifice (change to a narrow diameter), high gas flow, acute angle in tube (>25 degrees), branching in the tube examples: flow through glottis or annular space when FGF is high, flow through angles (air flow through medium sized bronchi)
43
2 ways to improve airflow
have patient breathe lower density gas use of heliox (useful for patient with epiglottitis)
44
describe transitional flow and real world examples
turbulent pattern in center of tube and laminar pattern near walls of tube
45
which physical principle applies to operation of a jet ventilator
bernouilles principle and venturi effect
46
define bernoullis principle
relationship between pressure and velocity of a moving fluid if the fluids velocity is high, pressure exerted on walls of tube will be low if fluids velocity is low, pressure exerted on walls of tube will be high ex) as width of tube suddenly becomes smaller, fluid in constricted region must move faster to achieve given distance in certain time frame
47
define venturi effect
application of bernoullis principle as airflow in tube moves past point of constriction, pressure at constriction decreases (bernoulli). if pressure in tube falls below atmospheric pressure, then air is entrained in the tube. ex) jet ventilator, venturi mask, nebulizer
48
define coanda effect
describes how a jet flow attaches itself to a nearby surface and continues to flow along that surface when the surface curves away from the initial jet direction ex) wall hugging of mitral regurgitation and water that follows the curve of glass
49

50
what is the law of laplace equation for a spherical shape and examples
51
law of laplace and the left ventricle
helps us understand the afterload of myocardial stress intraventricular pressure: force that pushes the heart apart wall stress: force that holds the heart together you can see from this equation that wall stress can be reduced by decreased IVP or radius and increased wall thickness
52

55
practice question: during a surgical procedure with fluoro, the patient receives 40mR at a distance of 1 foot from the radiation source. how much radiation will the anesthesia provider receive if she stands 5ft from radiation source?
intensity 1 = distance 2 / intensity 2 = distance 1 intensity 1=40mR intensity 2=x distance 1=1ft distance 2=5ft =1.6mR
56
define latent heat of vaporization
number of calories required to convert 1g of liquid to vapor without a temperature change in the liquid
57
define critical temperature
highest temperature in which gas can exist as a liquid aka temperature above which a gas cannot be liquified no matter how much pressure is applied to it
58
define evaporation
process where compound transitions from liquid state to gaseous state at a temperature below its boiling point
59
define boiling point
vp= atmospheric pressure requires an open container increased patm=increased BP
60
specific heat
amount of heat required to increase temperature of 1g of substance by 1 degree c
61
apply latent heat of vaporization to the inhalational gas in the vaporizers (and how modern vaporizers compensate)
anesthetic liquid in vaporizer exerts vapor pressure inside vaporization chamber. means some exists as liquid, some exists as gas fresh gas flows over anesthetic liquid, carrying with it some of the agent that exists in the gas phase this cools the remaining liquid which reduces the VP of the liquid and therefore fewer anesthetic molecules enter the gas phase modern vaporizers compensate for this temperature change by using metals with high thermal conductivity, use temperature compensation valve, and for des direct heat is applied to anesthetic liquid
62
define adiabatic process
occurs without gain or loss of energy. very rapid expansion or compression of gas where there is no transfer of energy ex) joule thompson effect
63
define joule thompson effect
gas stored at high pressure that is suddenly released escapes from its container into a vacuum. quickly loses speed as well as significant amount of kinetic energy resulting in fall in temperature. ex) explains why O2 cylinder that is opened quickly feels cool to the touch ex) rapid compression of gas intensifies kinetic energy, causing temperature to rise.
64
2 gases that exist as liquids in their cylinders
N2O and CO2 because critical temp of both is higher than room temp (room temp ~20c)
65
critical temperature of common gases N2O CO2 O2 air Nitrogen
N2O 36.5c (liquid inside tank) CO2 31c (liquid inside tank) O2 (-119c) air (-140c) Nitrogen (-147c)
66
kelvin melting point of water boiling point of water
designed so 0k is absolute zero where all molecular movement stops melting point of water: 273k boiling point of water 373k
67
celsius melting point of water boiling point of water
based on behavior of water melting point of water: 0c boiling point of water: 100c
68
converting between kelvin and celsius
because both operate in intervals of 100 its relatively easy kelvin = 273 + c celsius = k - 273
69
farenheit to celsius C=
= (F - 32) x 5/9 melting point for celsius is 100 and Fahrenheit is 180. therefore the ratio 1:8 is based on number of degrees between melting point on each side. 180: 100 = 1:8/ 1 or 9/5. we use the ratio backwards when converting to celsius
70
celsius to Fahrenheit F=
= (C x 1.8) + 32 melting point for celsius is 100 and Fahrenheit is 180. therefore the ratio 1:8 is based on number of degrees between melting point on each side. 180: 100 = 1:8/ 1 or 9/5.
