Part 4 Flashcards
Changing the I:E ratio from 1:4 to 1:1 would have what effect on ventilation?
increase possibility of auto-peep
Bulk liquid storage remote from hospital
oxygen
Usually created by special hospital compressors with quarterly air quality monitoring
medical air
Banks of G or H cylinders with automatic switching & notification to engineering for replacement.
Highest pressure cylinders supply the pipeline at all times (switch from bank to bank)
nitrous oxide
Most reliably detects delivery of hypoxic gas mixtures is
o2 analyzer
PEEP increases which elements of lung volumes and capacities
functional residual capacity
If change from pressure control ventilation with an inspiratory pressure of 20 to volume control ventilation with a plateau pressure of 20 given everything else remains constant?
decrease in tidal volume
oxygen international cylinder color
white
Regulate how gas cylinders are manufactured, labeled, filled, transported, stored, and disposed of
DOT
the measure of the mean pressure being exerted on the alveolar wall during a mechanical breath
plateau pressure
Link 25 utilizes what components in order to achieve the 3:1 ratio
mechanical and pneumatic
adjustments that will lower peak airway pressure
- changing I:E from 1:3 to 1:2
- decreasing respiratory rate
- reducing tidal volume
- switching to pressure control ventilation
The best mode of ventilation in order to control the pressure being exerted on the alveoli but at the same time maximize the amount of tidal volume being delivered in a patient with poorly compliant lungs.
pressure control ventilation
changing only the I:E ratio from 1:1 to 1:4 will affect ventilation by:
- increasing the inspiratory pause
- increasing the plateau pressure
- increasing the tidal volume
- increasing the inspiratory flow rate
- increasing the respiratory rate
increasing the inpspiratory flow rate
You are administering 1 L/min oxygen and 1L/min nitrous oxide using an older Datex-Ohmeda machine. There is a sudden loss of oxygen pipeline pressure which activates the fail safe system. You immediately switch to the onboard oxygen cylinder without adjusting the flowmeters. Describe the action of the floats in the flowmeter tubes:
Both floats go to zero and then rise badck to their previous values
