Q

Hagen-poiseuille’s equation

A

It investigate the steady flow of liquid through a capillary tube. (Describes the glow of fluids through IV cath)

States the flow (Q) of fluid is related to a number of factors:

Inversely to

  • Viscosity (n) of fluid (increases with increasing H/H and decreases temp -> hence the benefiting using warmers)
  • Length (L) -> shorter increases flow

Directly

  • Pressure gradient across the tubing (P) -> elevating IV bags or squeezing it
  • Diameter (r) of tube (increases flow rate by 16 folds)

Q

Turbulent gas flow increases with increasing … and ….

In other words; Turbulent flow resistance depends on …. and …

A

Gas density and gas flow rate

  • decreasing gas desensitized with helix instead of air helps to relieve airway obstruction (e.g. tracheas stenosis)
  • decreasing gas flow rate as taking slower deep breaths also helps ventilation in obstructed patient

So decreasing density (decreasing resistance) and flow rate (decreasing Reynolds’s number) improves gas flow.

Reynold’s number > 2100, has become turbulent

Q

What property of Heliox increases flow to laminar?

A

By reducing Reynolds number due to its lower density, heliox changes the turbulent to laminar

Heliox 70% and O2 30% mixture ( it has lower density than O2 but it’s viscosity is the same as O2)

Q

The density of the gas … at high altitude, but viscosity….

A

Decreases and viscosity remains the same.

So the high flow will be affected in high altitude and the flowmeters will over read higher flows because the higher the flow the density decreases in high altitude

Where there is no effect at low flows as the flow is laminar and depends on viscosity which is unaffected by high altitude

Q

Characteristics of N2O cylinder

A

Stored as both liquid and compressed gas

As vaporized nitrous leaves the cylinder, more nitrous is vaporized.

Therefore, the pressure in the cylinder remains the same as long as there is any nitrous remaining in cylinder.

When the pressure begins to decrease, approximately 400L of nitrous remains in the cylinder

Q

Bellows and circuit disconnection

Ascending va descending bellows

A

Ascending-> rose during expiration, will not fill during circuit d/c and therefore identify any disconnection

Descending-> falls during expiration, continues to raise and fall in event of circuit d/c and therefore can’t recognize a circuit d/c

21
Q

Vaporizer output at high altitude increases or decreases?

A

Increases (except Desflurane) as the potency decreases due to decrease in density of vapor, therefore no need to change the dial.

Desflurane remains the same as its electrically heated (boiling point for Desflurane is 23 degree and its heated to 39)

  • tilting of vaporizer grater than 10 degrees
  • power failure
23
Q

To agents has the same saturated vapor pressure?

A

Halothane + isoflurane (~240 mmHg)

So they are the least error to occur in terms of vapor output if mistakenly filled with wrong agent

A

The sub-ambient pressure alarm is intended to identify a breathing system pressure of

25
Q

What dose the US echogenicity measures?

A

Measures acoustic reflect acne, ability of tissue to reflect the US wave.

Hyperechoic are -> bones, tendons, and nerves are hypo or hyper depends on its location

Arteries and veins are anechoic

26
Q

What dose US acoustic impedance means?

A

Resistance to US wave propagation.

Denser the material it has more acoustic impedance and appears more white in the screen.

27
Q

US probe frequency? High vs low in terms wavelengths, resolution, and depth of penetration

A

The high frequency has shorter wavelength with high resolution but limited depth penetration

Low frequency has larger wavelength and deeper penetration but low resolution

28
Q

EtCO2 tracing in following situations

Expiratory valve stuck malfunctioning (if valve open vs closed)

A

EtCO2 will show rebreathing shape when expiratory valve stuck is open

And will show bronchospasm if expiratory valve stuck closed

29
Q

EtCO2 trace when inspiratory valve malfunction in spontaneous vs controlled ventilation?

A

Rebreathing trace if spontaneous and you’ll see prolonged inspiration trace if controlled ventilation

30
Q

Trace of EtCO2 during sample line leak?

A

EtCO2 lower initially due to dilution with air, and later peaks up due to raise in CO2

LL and LA

32

Place LA over V5 position
Place LL at its neutral position

33
Q

Which lead is used to monitor atrial activity?

A

Lead 2

34
Q

Which leaves the transducer zeroed at? How much mmHg change for every 10 cm change in transducer position?

A

Leveled at RA

For every 10 cm change in position, BP will change ~ 7.5 mmHg

pH 15 20 ( for every 20 cm change, BP will change by 15 mmHg)

35
Q

When compering radial artery pressure peaks to aortic pressures the … + … are higher where … + … lower

A

The radial artery will have higher systolic and pulse pressure.

Where diastolic and mean are lower

This is because the pressure waves propagates from aorta to distal vessels and meet resistance in small vessels resulting in amplification of the wave form due to pulse wave reflection

36
Q

MCC of brachial artery catheter?

A

Median nerve injury

37
Q

Direct arterial pressure measurement principle

A

Fluid filled tubing transducer system converting mechanical energy into electrical energy

Transducer system uses strain gauge and Wheatstone bridge circuit

38
Q

What dose arterial wave form depends on ? And which one is more important?

A

1) natural frequency of transduction system (it is the frequency at which it tends to oscillate and amplify the arterial wave form)
2) damping coefficient (it is the tendency of fluid system to extinguish motion).

At higher natural frequency, damping coefficient has little effect on arterial pressure wave.

39
Q

Over damping of arterial pressure resulting pressure reading? Causes?

A

Higher diastolic but no change in MAP

  • high viscosity of fluid
  • small tube diameter
  • long tube length
  • soft high compliance tubing
  • air bubble in tubing
40
Q

Hyper resonance or underdamped system of arterial pressure will read ? Causes?

A

Higher systolic but unchanged MAP

  • stuff (low compliance tubing)
  • big catheter (18 g instead of 20 g in radial artery)
41
Q

Indirect BP measurement;

  • artificially higher when …
  • artificially lower when …
  • falsely low when …

Width of cuff should be … of circumference or .. of the arm diameter

… is measured and SBP and DBP are …

A
  • too small
  • too big cuff
  • If cuff deflated rapidly

40%
20%

MAP is calculated where SBP + DBP are derived

42
Q

Compression of indirect BP to arterial?

A

Mercury sphygmomanometry is most accurate

Over read at low pressures and it under reads at high pressures.

43
Q

Causes of overestimation/underestimate of CO with thermodiulation technique?

A
  • loss of injectate
  • incomplete filling the injectate syringe
  • clot in the thermister
  • catheter location too distally

When it underestimate then check the temperature it might be too proximal

44
Q

CO measurement by thermodiulation method is inaccurate in which conditions?

A
  • AF
  • intracardiac shunt
  • Tricuspid regurgitation
45
Q

Difference between serum osmolality measurement vs calculation?

A

Calculation is a formula (2x Na + gluc/18 + BUN/2.8)

The measurement used by osmometer that includes other substance than Na/glucose and BUN(depression of freezing point)

So if osmolar difference between measurement and calculations, might present alcohol or other ingested substance contributing to osmolar difference

46
Q

Line isolation monitors what? When it alarms?

A

Monitor the integrity of underground power source in the OR

Alarms when leakage is > 2 mAmp

When second fault occurs it poses shock hazard to patient and OR personnel

47
Q

What to do when line isolation monitor alarms?

A

If before procedure then postpone the surgery or move the case.

If during the case then electrical devices systematically unplugged starting with recently plugged in.

48
Q

What’s the maximum allowable microshock in OR?

At which micro and macro shocks results in Vfib?

Dose the line isolation monitor prevent macro or micro shocks?

A

10 microampere

At 100 microampers (micro)and 100 miliamperes (macro) results in Vfib

Line isolation monitor prevents only the mAcro shacks.

49
Q

A

The full O2 tank has 660L in a 2000 psi

Relation is Linearly proportional
625/2000=×/1100

Solve for x = 343L

Now divide the volume over flow and you get the time

343L/6 = 57 min
