Why does mannitol crystalize when stored in cold temps?
Because generally decreasing temperatures decrease the solubility of solids and liquids, and the solution becomes supersaturated. When reheated, the crystals will re-dissolve due to the increase in solubility.

False
(T/F) Anesthesia vaporizers have color & filling connectors specific to each agent.
True
What does variable bypass mean?
There are 2 chambers in the vaporizer
1 for vaporizing
1 for a bypass (this helps maintain specific pressures and concentrations in the vaporizing chamber)
The ratio of these two chambers are variable in relation to concentration and flow rates
(T/F) Modern anesthesia vaporizers are temperature compensated
True
What does it mean when the vaporizer circuit is “out of circuit”?
The vaporizer circuit is separate from the breathing circuit
Desflurane must be heated to ___ C and pressurized to _____ mmHg to create an environment to provide lower and predictable volatility
39C
1500mmHg
What are the 3 “real” reasons why desflurane has to have its own vaporizer?
- the excessively high rate of evaporation (aka volatility) requires much higher rates of diluting gas (bypass chamber) flow vs normal vaporizers
- the high rate of evaporation causes substantial anesthetic cooling, needing a more powerful external heat source to compensate
- the low boiling point is that of warmer OR climates, requiring a precise bypass chamber to control the evaporation and dosages given
