Ex2 Anesthesia Gas Machine 2 Flashcards
Ultimate destination of gases
Patient
*not scavenging system
DISS (diameter index safety system)
Coupling mechanism: connects end of hose + appropriate gas outlet
- color coded
- to prevent incorrect hose to hospital gas pipeline
PISS (pin index safety system)
2 holes in cylinder valve (E-cylinder) that correspond to pins in yoke (anesthesia machine)
O2 Pin index position
2+5
Green
Air Pin Index Position
1+5
Yellow
NO2 Pin Index Position
3+5
Blue
If complete loss of pressure occurs, what should you do?
Open O2 E cylinder
Manually ventilate
Disconnect pipeline (prevent retrograde flow)
What is the first thing you should look at if machine goes out?
Circuit breaker (back on machine)
Hanger yoke
Orients cylinders, prevents gastight seal
Ensures unidirectional flow
Minimizes likelihood of transfilling/leaking to atmosphere in cylinders
Check valve (within hanger yoke)
Cylinder regulator
Converts E-cylinder pressure to 45 psi
Distal to hanger yoke
Bourdon-type pressure gauges are ______
Aneroid gauges - compare pressure to barometric pressure
All gases (except O2) flow through what before proceeding through flowmeters?
Fail-safe valve
Location at which gases join for first time
Common manifold
After gases pass thru vaporizer where do they go?
Common gas outlet
Circle system is a _____
Semi closed
Low FLOW
How many grooves on oxygen knob?
8
45*
If using oxygen flush valve to fill bellows, how should you use it
Short burst during expiratory phase
Pt receives .25 mL/min flowmeter, how much FiO2?
100%
Low pressure alarm
Pressure is lost in O2 circuitry
Datex = <28psi
Drager = <37 psi
Modern vaporizers
Variable-bypass
Function of concentration control valve
Regulate amount of flow thru the bypass/vaporizing chambers
