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
pressure and volume per minute delivered from central hospital O2 supply
50 psi and 50 L/min
V5 position
anterior axillary line, 5th intercostal space
Soda lime
best at absorptive capacity, but creates compound A, CO, does turn back white
compression factor
Compression volume is amount absorbed by breathing circuit. Compression volume/RR = compression per breath. This / peak inflation pressure gives you the compression factor.
maximize which lung parameter after surgery
Maximize FRC post op to prevent atelectasis. Increased FRC compared to CC will prevent atelectasis
highest chance of MI with surgery (in patient with previous MI)
2-3 days after (reasons unknown)
DC cardioversion not helpful
MAT is a non-reentrant ectopic atrial rhythm (often seen in COPD), DC cardioversion is ineffective
Rise of PaCO2 in apnea
During apnea the PaCO2 rises 6 mm Hg the first minute and then 3-4 mm Hg each subsequent minute
RIFLE criteria
predict mortality from renal failure
P50 for normal adult
26 mm Hg
Work of breathing
transpulmonary pressure X tidal volume
vital capacity
maximum expiration
-60-70 cc/kg
increased RR with carbon monoxide poisoning
Carbon monoxide poisoning increased RR when sufficient lactic acid builds up from decreased O2 delivery
P50 for sickle cell
31 mm Hg
lung parameters with age
increased: FRC, residual volume, closing volume
decreased: vital capacity, total lung capacity, maximum breathing capacity, FEV1, ventilatory response to hypercarbia/hypoxemia
Vd/Vt=
(PaCO2-PeCO2)/ PaCO2
least well compensated acid/base disorder
metabolic alkalosis due to limited ability to hypoventilate
transpulmonary shunt
for every increase of 20 in alveolar-arterial O2 of 20 there is an increase in shunt fraction of 1%
Most important buffer system in the body
[HCO3-]
change of K with decrease in pH of 0.1
increase of 1 mEq
carboxyhemoglobin half life
RA 4-6 hours
100% O2 1 hour
physiologic effects of acidosis
CNS depression, increased ICP, cardiovascular system depression, dysrhythmias, vasodilation, hypovolemia, hypovolemia, pulm HTN
Best pressor in the setting of acidosis
vasopressin
sedative that most resembles normal sleep
precedex
water soluble then lipid soluble in body
versed
epinephrene max dose (LA)
Epinephrine max doses depend on volatile being used. Halothane has max dose of 2 mcg/kg while iso, des and sevo have max dose of 5 mcg/kg
risk with propranolol
blunted response to hypolygemice
bronchoconstriction
rebound tachy s/p cessation
NO RISK for orthostatic HTN
Methylnaltrexone
opioid receptor antagonist that does not cross into CNS. Will act peripherally to treat opioid induced constipation
protease enzyme inhibitors
(HIV antrivirals) inhibit CY3A4 and can prolong versed
1 twitch in TOF correlates to what decrease in single twitch
> 85%
2= 70-85%
