clinical monitoring part 2 Flashcards
what are the 3 sampling sites discussed in lecture
most common-end total CO2
Y pieve
some nasal cannulas
gas mixture analysis
gas must be brought to analyzer- side stream or diverting analyzers
the analyzer brought to the gas in the airway
transit time
time lag fro the gas sample to reach the analyzer
rise time
time taken by the analyzer to react to the change in gas concentration
side stream response
dependent on sampling tubing inner diameter, length, and gas sampling rate
going away from patient
sampling challenges mainstream
water vapor
secretions
blood
more interfaces for disconnections
sampling challenges side-stream
kinking of sampling tubing
water vapor
failure of sampling pump
leaks in the line
slow response time
what is daltons law
total pressure exerted by a mixture of gases is equal to the sum of the partial pressures exerted by each gas mixture
mass spectrometry
concentration determined according to mass charge ratio
abundance of ions at specific mass/charge ratios is determined and r/t fractional composition of the gas mixture
can calculate up to eight different gases
raman spectroscopy (raman scattering)
high powered argon laser produces photons that collide with gas molecules in a gas sample
scattered photons are measured in a spectrum that ID each gas and its concentration
not in use
what does infrared analysis measure
CO2, nitrous oxide, water, volatile anesthetic gas
DOES NOT MEASURE O2
what is fuel or galvanic cell
oxygen battery that measures the current produced with oxygen diffuses across a membrane
proportional to PP of oxygen
oxygen monitoring sampling inspiratory and expiratory limb
inspiratory limb -ensures oxygen delivery; analyzes hypoxic mixtures
expiratory limb- ensure complete pre oxygenation “denitrogenation”; ET O2 above 90% adequate
reasons for low O2 alarm
popline crossover
incorrectly filled tanks
failure of a proportioning system
high O2 alarm
premature infants
patient of chemotherapeutic drug
what does airway pressure monitoring detect
circuit disconnections
ETT occlusions
kinking in the inspiratory limb
fresh gas hose kink or disconnection
circuit leaks
sustained high circuit pressure
high and low scavenging system pressures
differences between mechanical pressure gauges and electronic pressure gauges
mechanical: requires no power always on, and have high reliability, non recording of data, no alarm system, must be continually scanned
electronic: built within ventilator or anesthesia machine, alarm system integrated, sensitive to small changes
what is the primary purpose of low pressure alarm
ID of circuit disconnection or leaks
does not detect some partial disconnecting
may not detect misconnections or obstructions
what should the low pressure limit be set to
just below the normal peak airway pressure
where do most disconnection occur at
Y piece
what does the sub atmospheric pressure alarm do
measure and alert negative circuit pressure ad potential for reverse flow of gas
what can negative pressure cause
pulmonary edema
atelectasis
hypoxia
what are causes of negative pressure
active (suction) scavenging system malfunctions
Pt inspiratory effort against a blocked circuit
inadequate fresh gas flow
suction to misplaced NGT/OGT
moisture in CO2 absorbent
causes of high pressure alarms
obstructions
reduced compliance
coughing/straining
kinked ETT
endobronchial intubation
continuing pressure alarms
triggered with circuit pressure exceeds 10cmH2O for >15seconds
fresh gas continues to enter the circuit but cannot leave
causes of continuing pressure alarm
malfunctioning adjustable pressure relief valve, scavenging system occlusion, activation of oxygen flush system, malfunctioning PEEP
the 3 types of peripheral nerve monitoring
electrical and magnetic
electrical nerve stimulation (most common)
magnetic- not used
2 sites of nerve stimulation
ulnar nerve- gold standard
facial nerve
which nerve is the lowest risk of direct muscle stimulation
ulnar nerve-adductor pollicis muscle easily accessible
what nerve can be used when arms are unavailable
facial nerve orbicularis oculi and facial nerve corruptor supercilii muscle
what is the most resistant to depolarizing and non depolarizing NMBDs
diaphragm
last to go to sleep first to wake up
what reflects extent of neuromuscular block of laryngeal adductor and abdominal muscle better
corrugated supercilii > adductor pollicis
single twitch has a single twitch applied from
1.0 Hx every second to 0.1Hz every 10seconds
train of 4 provided reliable information throughout
all phases of neuromuscular blockade w/o monitoring device
