Q

What is second gas effect?

A

When nitrous oxide stops it is eliminated from the body very quickly. The level of carbon dioxide in the blood is greatly reduced.
A breath is taken to expel the rising level of carbon dioxide, if this level is reduced the patient will not be able to breath.

Q

When the RA machine is turned off, nitrous oxide in the blood will enter the lungs very quickly in large amounts, what does this do to the oxygen levels in the lungs and what could happen?

A

Dilutes the oxygen in lungs and can cause hypoxia, headaches and nausea

25
Q

If the patient is unable to keep their mouth open during treatment, how much would the nitrous oxide be reduced?

A

10%

26
Q

When the oxygen is set at 100% where will the mental ball on the oxygen flow meter be at?

A

8L/min

27
Q

When the oxygen is at 50% and the nitrous oxide is at 50% where will the metal ball in the oxygen flow meter be at?

A

4L/min

28
Q

If the delivery of oxygen were to stop, what would happen to the nitrous oxide flow.

A

It will automatically be cut off, by the nitrous oxide cut-off valve.

29
Q

If the patient received pure nitrous oxide, what would happen?

A

could result in patient death

30
Q

What does the scavenging system do?

A

Allows the nitrous oxide in the atmosphere to be removed

31
Q

What does the air entrainment valve do?

A

Allow the patient to breath the atmospheric area if both gases shut off

32
Q

What does the reservoir bag allow the dentist/nurse to do?

A

monitor respiration of the patient

33
Q

How does the IH machine ensure the patient does not enter stage 2 of anaesthesia?

A

by providing 30% oxygen at all times and a maximum of 70% nitrous oxide

34
Q

If you pressed the ‘flush’ button, what would happen ?

A

extra oxygen would be provided

35
Q

How many oxygen cylinders and nitrous oxide cylinders should be present at all times, and how are these labelled?

A

x4
x2 oxygen / x2 nitrous oxide
Labelled in use & full

36
Q

What colour is the oxygen cylinder?

A

Black with a white collar & white pipe

37
Q

What colour is the nitrous oxide cylinder?

A

Blue & blue pipe

38
Q

What is the Bodok seal?

A

it provides a seal between the cylinder and machine to prevent leakage

39
Q

If you tap the gas cylinder and it has a duller sound, what does this mean?

A

less gas it contains

40
Q

‘E’ cylinders have what safety feature?

A

unique pin indexing, which makes it impossible for the wrong cylinder to be connected

What is the oxygen flow rate for an adult?

A

8L/min

Staff notation
Nasal mask correctly fitted
High volume aspiration
Rubber dam
