Q

This component of CPB machine functions to pumps blood at a set flow rate to the patient

A

arterial pump

25
Q

What is the function of cardiotomy suckers and vents?

A

Scavenges blood from operative field and vents the heart

26
Q

What is the function of arterial line filter?

A

Removes microaggregates and particulate matter >40um

27
Q

What is the function of cardioplegia systems?

A

Deliver high-dose potassium solutions to arrest the heart and preserve the myocardium

28
Q

This component of CPB machine functions to connect the patient to the extracorporeal circuit

A

Cannulae

29
Q

What is FiO2?

A

Fraction of inspired oxygen (the % concentration of O2 inhaled by Px)

30
Q

What is the tubing size for cardioplegia section?

A

3/16” or 4.5mm

31
Q

What is the tubing size for suction tubing?

A

1/4” or 6.0mm

32
Q

The 3/8” (9.0mm) tubing is for _______________

A

arterial pump line for flow rates <6.7L/min

33
Q

The 1/2” (12.0mm) tubing is for _______________

A

venous line

34
Q

What is the most common tubing material?

A

Polyvinyl chloride (PVC)

35
Q

Which tubing material has durability and has accepted hemolysis rate?

A

polyvinyl chloride/PVC

36
Q

What is the most common tubing material?

A

Polyvinyl chloride (PVC)

37
Q

Which tubing material has durability and has accepted hemolysis rate?

A

polyvinyl chloride/PVC

38
Q

How does PVC have a fairly rigid characteristic?

A

This tubing material is made of polymer chains of carbon chloride bands

39
Q

What is the disadvantage of PVC?

A

during hypothermic CPB = stiffens; it tends to induce spallation

nag bombard ng very high energy particles that disintegrate being used in procedure, release pf plastic microparticles from inner tubing due to pump compression

40
Q

This tubing material has less hemolysis than PVC

A

Silicone

41
Q

This tubing material induce more spallation

A

Silicone

42
Q

The silicone tubing material is used for _______________

A

arterial roller pump root because it constantly compress tubing of rollers = induce more hemolysis

43
Q

What is the disadvantage of latex rubber?

A

generate hemolysis than PVC

44
Q

This component of CPB machine connects the patient to the circuit to the CPB machine

A

Cannulae

45
Q

Cannulae is made up of ______________________

A

PVC. reinforced with wire to prevent obstruction due to kinking

46
Q

What are the two types of arterial cannulae?

A

curved/angled and straight

47
Q

Which arterial cannula is preferred?

A

thin-walled cannula. It presents lower resistant to flow due tp large internal diameter = reduction to arterial pressure

48
Q

This angle tip arterial cannula ____________________

A
