Answer 1

Non rebreathing

Question 2

VOC
VIC

Answer 2

High resistance to flow
Low resistance to flow

Question 3

What is the first component of the circuit

Answer 3

Fresh gas inlet

Question 4

What is the next component in the anesthetic machine after the O2 tank, pressure regulator, flow meter, and vaporizer

Answer 4

Fresh gas inlet

Question 5

What does the fresh gas inlet do?

Answer 5

Takes the gas coming from the vaporizer and puts it into the circuit

Question 6

What kind of valve does the fresh gas inlet (inhale and exhale) have

Answer 6

One way valve
“flutter” valve

Question 7

What are the steps of the circuit after the fresh gas inlet (and tubing y piece or coaxial)

Answer 7

Inhalation valve, patient, exhalation valve

Question 8

In a coaxial tube, should the inhale tube be on the inside or outside

Answer 8

Inside bc the exhale on the outside warms it up

Question 9

Reservoir is another word for extra, how do you calculate the reservoir bag size

Answer 9

6 Tidal volumes = 60mL/ Kg
(one tidal volume is 10mL/kg)

Question 10

What is the next component in the anesthetic machine after the O2 tank, pressure regulator, flow meter, vaporizer, fresh gas inlet, inhalation valve, patient, and exhalation valve

Answer 10

Reservoir bag
