Hall Flashcards
Desflurane vapor pressure
- so when pressurized to 1500mm Hg there will be 664/1500 or 44% at the vaporizing chamber
Check valves
permit unidirectional flow of gases. Prevent retrograde flow from machine or transfer of gasses between e-cylinders
Driving force of ventilators
O2
pressure sensor shutoff valve ( fail safe)
prevents delivery of hypoxic gas mixture. When falls below 30 osi will discontinue the flow of N2O
stage regulators for O2 and N2O
first stage reduce pressure to 45 psi
second reduces O2 to 14-16
Vapor pressures
Sevo 160, Iso 240 Des 669
RA in waste gas disposal system
due to negative pressure relief valve
Splitting ratio
Splitting ratio is the ratio of glows between a variable bypass and the vaporizer chamber. Splitting ratio depends on anesthetic agent, temperature, vapor concentration set to be delivered, and SVP
Soda lime
indicator dye will turn back to white after recharged
- Compound A (sevo), CO (des, iso)
Ambsorb
indicator dye will NOT turn back white
-no significant compound A or CO
high and low frequency filters on ECG
low: respiration
high: fasciculations, tremors, electrical equipment
N2O as carrier gas
when N20 enters the vaporizing champer a portion of N2O dissolves in liquid agent. Thus output is decreased.
clear glasses are safe with what laser
Co2
transcutaneous monitoring of O2 and Co2
ptcO2 will be lower, ptcCO2 will be higher
gas density vs altitude
decrease with increased altitude. There for at high flow (density is more important) due to decreased density there will be higher flows
pacemaker code
five letters;
1: chamber paced
2: where endogenous current is sensed
3: response to sensing
amount of volatile taken up by patient in first minute
equals the amount taken up between the squares of any two consecutive number
laser that penetrates the most
Nd;YAG
scavenging system bag distending during inspiration
icompetent pressure relief valve in the mechanical ventilator
shock to cause v fib
through skin higher than 100 mA, through device to heart .1mA
line isolation monitor
sounds an alarm when grounding occurs
BP cuff too narrow or loosely wrapped
cause falsely elevated pressure
ECG leads for MRI
as close as possible and in center of the magnetic field
fundamental difference between micro and macroshock
location of shock
