Delivery Flashcards
What is the delivery component of the SPDD model?
How we control and monitor the interaction of gases with the patient
What determines if the circuit is semi-open or semi-closed in a circle circuit?
Dependent on the amount of fresh gas flow put into the system
What type of circuit is created if the fresh gas flows are greater than minute ventilation?
Semi-open, No rebreathing
How do you calculate minute ventilation?
Take the breaths per minute and multiply it by the tidal volume
What is an example of a closed circuit?
Circle with pop off valve closed
What type of circuit is created if the fresh gas flows are less than minute ventilation?
Semi-closed, partial rebreathing
What does APL stand for?
Adjustable pressure limiting valve (pop off valve)
After exhalation, what two places can the gas go?
CO2 absorberAnesthesia reservoir bag
What are the seven components of a circle system?
- Fresh gas inflow source
- Unidirectional valves
- Two corrugated tubes
- Y-piece connector
- Overflow valve
- Gas reservoir bag
- CO2 absorber
What size is the corrugated tubing used in the circle system?
22 mm diameter in adults
What are the two types of unidirectional valves in the circle system?
Inspiration
Expiration
How does a floating valve work?
Opens with pressure and closes with pressure, it moves in the direction its being pushed by gas
What type of valves are the inspiratory and expiratory valves in the circle system?
Floating valves
What should be avoided between the patient and the inspiratory limb?
Avoid overflow valve
What should be avoided between the expiratory limb and the patient?
Avoid fresh gas inflow
How much rebreathing occurs in a closed circle system?
Complete rebreathing
What are some advantage of utilizing a circle system?
Constant inspired concentrations Conserve respiratory heat and humidity Useful for all ages Useful for closed system or low flow Low resistance
What are some disadvantage of utilizing a circle system?
Relatively complex
Opportunities for misconnections/disconnections
Malfunction of unidirectional valves
Less convenient and portable than NRB circuit
Where is headspace located in the circle system?
Dead space is located between y-piece and the patient
When does no rebreathing occur in the circle system?
1-1.5 x minute ventilation no rebreathing occurs
What times during anesthetic practice would we want no rebreathing to occur?
PreoxygenationInduction (wash-in)
Emergence (washout)
When would be a good time to administer low flows to a patient?
Maintenance, it conserves heat, humidity and volatile agent
What are the tasks of the CO2 absorption system?
Makes rebreathing possible
Conserves gases and volatile agents
Decreases OR pollution
Avoids hazards of CO2 rebreathing
What is the composition of Soda Lime?
CaOH 94%
NaOH 5%
KOH
