Q

Machine test

A
  1. Connected to monitor / supply
  2. Monitoring device
    etco2
  3. O2 anaylser - calibrate 100% + 21%
  4. Tug test
  5. Check pipe line pressure gauge
    4 bar
  6. O2 cyilnder
  7. Blanking plug fitted to empty cylinder yoke
    - inserted into empty yokes to ensure that there is no leak out of the yoke when not in use.
  8. Flow meters
    Check all 3 operation o2 n2o air
    check anti hypoxia valve working
    o2 flush
9. Vaporiser 
Filled
Sealed
Leak
Turn off when check complete

10 Precautions before fitting cylinder to machine
plastic dust cover removed sealing washer
gentle open to let some escape
- blow dust grit outlet that may damage

Q

3.2 COPD bits

A

Disease charactised limitation airflow in airway not fully reversible

bronchitis
emphysema

congen - A1AT

Acq - smoking

SOB wheeze expectorating cough
Characterised fev1<80% predicted
decrease fev1 fvc ratio

(vs restrictive - FEV 1 FVC Down - FEV1 . FVC ratio normal or up)

abg - hypoxia and co2 retention

hypoxia stim EPO kidneys - polycythemia

cor pulmonale - change in structure + fxn of right ventrile - result resp disease
anatom change can impose right strain

Q

3.3 ECG and Pacemakers

A

Electrical activity - deranged d/t initiaon impulse

failure condctuion

mechanical fails = reduction cardiac output

Temporary
- transcutaneous + transvenously

Perm pacing - Implant pacer
lead wires attached chambers

Bivent pm - improve sytolice fxn - DCM
intraventricular conduction delay - resynchonizing contraction

PM - preop
1 40% concom cor art disease

ii advantage

iii disadvantage

A

IR radiation
Frequenc IR light rad from tympanic membrane measured

Advant
quick

22
Q

3.9 Measuring equipment

Temperature

Non electrical x 3

Other sites temp measurement

electric methods

A

Non electrical:

  1. Liquid thermometer
    mercury + alcohol
  2. Dial thermometers
    Bimetallic strip
    Bourdon gauge
Axilla
Nasopharynx
Oesophagus
Rectum
Bladder
PA

Resistance thermometer

Thermistor
Semidcoundctor
metal oxide beads
temp increase = resistance decrease exponentially

  • calibration - change if subject severe change in temp

Thermocouple
