Q

Pulse oximetry can only deal with what 2 concentration

A

Oxyhemoglobin & reduced HGB

25
Q

Both carboxy & methe

A

Absorb light at 1 or both of the wavelengths commonly used

Significant concentrations of either will produce erroneous pulse oximetry values

26
Q

At the red wavelength of 660, carboxy

A

Has the same absorbance as oxy

27
Q

Methe absorbs light at

A

Both 660 & 940, which means it adds to both the numerator & denominator of the ratio

28
Q

Rising HGB causes pulse oximetry values to

A

Decrease until reaching a plateau of 85%

29
Q

What has little effect on pulse oximetry

A

Fetal HGB & sickle cell

Nail polish varies—causes low reading

Highly opaque can prevent detection

30
Q

Diodes vary as much as

A

15nm

31
Q

LES light transmission can be corrected by

A

Measuring dioxide wavelength & discarding outside rage

Utilize different algorithms that correspond to different LED Wavelength

Variability doesn’t affect the ability to follow changes in saturation but can produce differences between sensors

32
Q

Pulsations component can be less than

A

1% of the amplitude of the non pulsations component l, which can occur during low profusion states or when the non pulsations component is increased such as with ambient light

33
Q

What can decrease light interference

A

Drape or towel

34
Q

What happens if a pulse is weak

A

The pulse oximetry will use an automatic gain control that adjusts either the LED intensity or the photodetector amplifier gain

35
Q

Amplifying gain will also

A

Amplify background noise

36
Q

Most pulse odometers display

A

A waveform that represents pulsation strength after amplification

37
Q

As ASA physical status increases

A

Pulse oximetry failure rates increase

38
Q

A Mispositioned pulse oximetry can

A

Display correct HR. It an erroneous oxygen value

39
Q

How is loss of signal compensated?

A

Increasing signaling average time & ECG synchronization

Should determine the noise signal and then subtract it from the total signal

40
Q

Difference between earlobe & finger pulse oximetry

A

Earlobe responds quicker

Finger is more reliable

41
Q

Pulse pressure variation is the

A

Aria took it pulse pressure with respirations

43

A

Fluid responsiveness especially with positive pressure ventilation

44

A

Diminishes greatly

46
Q

PVI is sensitive for any

A

Physiological factor that diminishes CO

47
Q

In non wealth environment,

A

Oxygen or electrical services may/may not be available so equipment must be compact, portable & robust

Cost shouldn’t be a limiting factor, but often is

48
Q

For volatile agents to be vaporized

A

A carrier gas must pass through a vaporizing chamber, driven by positive pressure or drawn thigh utilizing the patients inspiratory effort

49
Q

Drive over is an alternative when

A

Oxygen cylinder isn’t available

50
Q

A draw over system has what 4 components

A

Reservoir tube

Vaporizer

Self inflating bag

Non rebreathing system

51
Q

The self inflating bag is for

A

Controlled or assisted ventilation that’s separated by a 1 way valve

Valves ensure flow is directed towards the patient and cannot be Re-entered into the vaporizer

52
Q

Vaporizer & tubing should be

A

Low resistance so spontaneous breathing can occur

53
Q

This is often used as a source of oxygen

A

Atmospheric air by utilizing a portable oxygen concentrator (inhaled concentration can be increased)

54
Q

Zeolite granules are used to

A

Absorb nitrogen from compressed air & the residual oxygen is send to the patient

By using 2 columns of Zeolite, a continuous supply of 95% oxygen can be produced

Zeolite doesn’t exhaust and doesn’t require changing for many years

55
Q

Oxygen concentrator are able to produce

A

A supply of oxygen at a rate of 5-10L/min

56
Q

Why are mechanical ventilators difficult

A

Due to electrical supply

High gas usage if they are powered by compressed gases

57
Q

Bellows below the beam expand with

A

Exhalation & the adjusted weight above the beam & compressed bellows, delivering tidal volume

58
Q

A

Under battery & implement safety features that prevent hypoxia gas delivery

59
Q

Elevated alveolar anesthetic gas concentration cause

A

Hypoventilation & decreased intake
