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

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

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
