exam 1 and only Flashcards
MS. MAID
machine check, suction, monitors, airway, IV, drugs
O2 tank holds___ PSI, and how much should be in there prior to case
2000, at least 500
anesthesia machine flow
fresh gas from common gas outlet–>1 way inspiratory valve–>inspiratory breathing tube–>Y piece to pt–> 1 way expiratory valve–>in and out reservoir bag–>APL to scavenging–>CO2 absorber–>back to fresh gas
Pin index safety system
prevents accidental swapping of oxygen and nitrous. O2 is green and 2,5. Nitrous is blue and 3,5
Diameter safety system
verify piped gas, pressures are >50 psi
negative pressure test on anes machine
verifies no leaks between flow meters and common gas outlet
oxygen analyzer on anes machine
evaluates integrity of low pressure circuit
Volume vs pressure control
volume- machine delivers set volume, set Vt, RR, i:e, variable is PIP.
pressure- machine delivers set pressure. set PIP, RR, i:e. variable is Vt.
Who accredits nurse anesthesia programs
COA council of accreditation of nurse anesthesia educational programs
crna boards is called what and administered by
NCE national certification exam
national board of certification and recertification for nurse anesthetists
purpose of standards for nurse anesthesia practice
evaluate quality of care, provide common base for quality care, help public understand what to expect, support and preserve basic rights of patient
general anesthesia
a reversible state of unconsciousness produced by anesthetic agents.
induction sequence: conventional vs rapid sequence
benzo, o2 5 min, opioid, induction agent, ventilate, no ventilation for RSI, cricoid pressure and paralytic and tube, paralytic, tube, inhalation agent.
advantages/disadvantages of regional anesthesia
advantages: conscious, able to protect airway, pulm/cardiac/renal disease patients
disadvantages: unpredictable, needs a skilled practitioner, pt cooperation
advantage to inhalation induction
no IV access, children
nitrous oxide
increases muscle tone, provides analgesia, increases SVR and pulmonary vascular resistance, decreases breath holding, coughing, secretions and laryngospasm, ok in malignant hyperthermia.
sevoflurane
causes AV disturbances, decreases breath holding, coughing, laryngospasm. compound A. 7 flourine makes it less soluble in blood therefore acts and metabolized quickly.
