Q

Splitting ratio

A

Flow thru vaporizing chamber/flow thru bypass chamber

24
Q

Unique aspect of Desflurane vaporizer

A

Heated - dual circuit
“Datex ohmeda Ted 6”
(Near boiling temp at room temp)

25
Q

Interlock system ensures

A

Only one vaporizer can be on at a time

26
Q

What if vaporizer says “tipping”?

A

Don’t use it - tipped > 45*

27
Q

Factors that influence vaporizer output

A
  1. Flow rate (O2 flush bypasses vaporizer, so dilutes gas)
  2. Temperature
  3. Back pressure (high PEEP=higher vaporizer output)
  4. Atmospheric pressure (changes volume%)***
  5. Carrier gas
28
Q

Vaporizers and carrier gas

A

Calibrated for 100% oxygen

29
Q

Addition of N2O will result in _____ MAC

A

Lowered

30
Q

Dead space ends at

A

Y-piece of circuit (where inspiratory/expiratory gases diverge)

31
Q

APL valve

A

Releases gases to scavenging system

Provide control of pressure in breathing system

32
Q

Bag mask ventilation - APL valve should be

A

Left partially open

33
Q

Mechanical ventilation - APL valve should be

A

Excluded (selector switch on ‘automatic’)

34
Q

Main reason for APL valve

A

Positive pressure during manual ventilation

35
Q

Advantage of circle system

A

Prevents rebreathing of CO2 while allowing rebreathing of all other gases

36
Q

If increased inspired/exp CO2

A

Increase FGF to 5-8L/min (semi-open)

37
Q

ETCO2 waveform: prolonged plateau, slanting inspiratory downstroke

A

Incompetent inspiratory valve

38
Q

What makes rebreathing of gases possible?

A

Carbon dioxide absorption

39
Q

Which absorbant must be used with FiCO2 monitoring?

A

Spiralith (no color indicator)

40
Q

Which absorbant stays indicator color permanently?

A

Litholyme

41
Q

Which absorbent does not have a color indicator?

A

Spiralith

42
Q

How do you prevent wall effect/channeling in absorbent?

A

Shaking canister

43
Q

Cons to barolyme

A

Burning skin/contacts

44
Q

Water content of most absorbents

A

15%

45
Q

Which absorbent does not have water content?

A

Spiralith

46
Q

Importance of water content in absorbent

A

Produces compound A, carbon monoxide, all negative effects

47
Q

Mesh size of most absorbents

A

1/4-1/8”

48
Q

Significant indicator of CO2 absorbent exhaustion

A

Dysrhthmias or increased bleeding

49
Q

End stage renal failure pt should not receive

A

Sevo — d/t risk of Compound A

50
Q

Risk of Desflurane

A

Carbon monoxide

51
Q

Exposure max of halogenated agents

A

2 ppm (0.5 ppm if+N20)

52
Q

Exposure max N2O

A

25 ppm (based on 8hrs)

53
Q

Closed interface system

A

Scavenger system - communicate to atmosphere only thru valves

  • used w/ passive disposal system (no suction)
  • can be used w/ active - change interface
54
Q

Open interface

A

Scavenging system
No valves
Active (suction)

55
Q

Difference between closed and open scavenging systems

A
Closed = valve
Open = no valves (+active)
