Q

What breathing system uses Bain circuit, ambu bag, and used for smaller patients

A

Non-rebreathing system

23
Q

What breathing system is a circle system and used for larger patients

A

Rebreathing systems

24
Q

Non-rebreathing systems have an absence of ___valves

A

Unidirectional

25
Q

Carbon dioxide removal for non-rebreathing systems depends on ___

A

Fresh gas glow

26
Q

Non-rebreathing systems are used for ___patients

A

Smaller

27
Q

What is the max kg for non-rebreathing systems

A

5kg

28
Q

What are 3 features of Bain system for non0rebreathing systems

A
  1. Valveless coaxial system
  2. Low resistance due to absence of valves
  3. Some warming of inspired gases due to coaxial design
29
Q

What is the flow rate oxygen when using Bain circuit

A

150ml/kg/min during induction, maintenance and recover

30
Q

What type of circuit is this

A

Bain circuit

31
Q

What is the minimum flow rate of oxygen/min

A

500mL/min

32
Q

Why checking for leaks at 20-30cmH20

A

You would never uses abov 20cmH20 too much pressure

33
Q

When should the pop off valve be open vs closed

A

Open when connected to patient
Close for leak check

34
Q

What is this and what is purpose

A

pressure relief valve that will relieve pressure if you forget to open pop off valve

35
Q

What are some advantages of circle system

A
  1. Less environmental pollution
  2. Conservation of heat and humidity
  3. Less abrupt changes in anesthetic depth
  4. Control of PaCO2 depends on patient ventilation not fresh gas
36
Q

What are some disadvantages of circle system

A
  1. Malfunction
  2. Improperly assembled
  3. Greater resistance due to valves, soda lime canister
37
Q

Resistance increases with increase ___ and ___

A

Respiratory and tidal volume

38
Q

What is the fresh gas rate in circle system at induction, maintenance and recovery

A

Induction: 150m/lkg/min for first 15 minutes
Maintenance: 50ml/kg/min
Recovery: 150ml/kg/min to eliminate iso

39
Q

What is the minimum fresh gas flow rate/min

A

500 mL/min

40
Q

Small animal circle systems for pediatrics is designed for what BW

A

5-10kg

41
Q

Adult small animal circuits are designed for what BW

A

10-150kg

42
Q

What is the large animal circle system BW

A

150kg-2 tons

43
Q

What is the flow rate for large animals in circle system

A

10-30ml/kg/min

44
Q

How do you determine reservoir bag size

A

6x tidal volume=10-15ml/kg

45
Q

What is the purpose of soda lime

A

Absorption of CO2

46
Q

What is the evidence for depletion of soda lime

A

Color change: white to blue
Granules become hard
Heat production stops

47
Q

What 3 things does the amount of rebreathing depend on

A
  1. Fresh gas flow into the system
  2. Amount of dead space in the system
  3. System design
48
Q

Increase in rebreathing ___concentration of gas within system

A

Decreases

49
Q

Which system has higher flow rates for induction vs maintenance

A

Circle system

50
Q

Rebreathing Can ___recovery

A

Delay
Increase flow rates at end to get rid of Isoflurane

51
Q

What is the purpose of the scavenger system

A

Eliminate excess volatile anesthetic gases from work area

52
Q

The gas scavenging system is connected to ___

A

Pop off valve

53
Q

How can we minimize exposure to waste gases

A
  1. Scavenger system
  2. Equipment and vaporizers in good condition
    3 . Identify and repair leaks
  3. Fill vaporizers
  4. Inflate cuff adequately
  5. Keep patient connected to machine on O2 fir as long as possible once anesthetic is turned off so can scavenge all gasses
  6. Pregnancy women should avoid exposure especially in first trimester
