2000 psi
How is N2O manufactured
thermal decompensation of ammonium nitrate
How many L is in a full N2O tank
1590L
How many psi is in a full N2O tank

What is in Wood’s metal
BLT with cheese
Bismuth, lead, tin, cadminum
What is the pipeline pressure
50psi
What is pipeline made of
wrought copper
What is PISS
pin index safety system, prevents interchangeability of cylinders on the cylinder yoke
O2 pin positions
2,5
Air pin positions
1,5
N2O pin positions
3,5
What type of pressure gauge is on the high pressure side
bourdon gauge- hollow copper coil
what type of valve is in the first stage regulator
diaphragm type
what valve is on the high-pressure side
floating check valve for O2 and N2O limbs
what does the floating check valve do?
prevents transfilling of cylinders in dual system, allows change of cylinders, and minimizes leaks to atmosphere
what is the purpose of a yoke plug
prevents O2 leak of floating check valve broken
What is the cylinder pressure after first stage regulator
45psi
What is DISS
diameter index safety system- nut and bolt system that prevents wrong pipeline hose connection
What to do if hospital pipeline crossover
disconnect pipeline
turn backup O2 tank on
What type of valve is the flush valve
type III
What does the flush valve do?
direct connection from O2 source at a rate of 35-75 LPM
Where do the majority of leaks occur
low pressure side
What type of tube is a flowmeter
Thorpe tube/variable orifice( V-shaped)
area between the bobbin and tube in flowmeter
annular opening
minimal o2 flow through flowmeters
200-300mL
Which type of flowmeter is most accurate
electronic flowmeter-uses solenoid principle (mass of gas is registered and measured through electronic mass flow sensor)
3 features of a style 1 vaporizer
variable-bypass
temperature compensated
flow over wick
What is variable bypass
most of the gas goes right by the chamber, only a little picks up vapor. Splitting ratio
What is flow over wick
pulls up liquid anesthetic higher in the vaporizer to get more molecules distributed more evenly in vaporizer
What is temperature compensated
bimetallic strip that opens or closes depending on ambient temp
What type of vaporizer is the Aladin model
type 1 but coputerized
7 features of the Tec 6
dual circuit
gas blender (injected into fresh gas flow)
heated
pressurized
CPU chip
back pressure
diaphragm
What is the Tec 6 heated to
39-40
What is vaporizer tipping
more than 45 degrees
what can vaporizer tipping cause
overdose
What to do if vaporizer tips
drain vaporizer sump
flush 20-30 mins at high flow rates with high concentration set on dial
Liquid anesthetic usage calculation
3x FGF (L/min) x vol% (as whole number)= mL liquid used per hour
AC power supply much have how much time
30 mins at least
what do insp and exp valves do in circle system
assure unidirectional flow
What does the circle system pressure gauge do
monitors airway pressures when not on ventilator
what is the y-piece
connects breathing circuit to patient
