Physics Lec 2 Part 1 Flashcards
Si unit of pressure?
pascal
formula for psi
lbs/in^2
kPa at 1 atm
101.33
mbar at 1 atm
1013.3
mmHg at 1 atm
760
cmH2O at 1 atm
1033.6
psi at 1 atm
14.7
how to convert bar to psi?
1 bar = 1 atm. 14.7psi in 1 atm.
how to convert bar to kPa
1 bar = 1 atm. 101.33 kPa at 1atm.
Describe the relationship between area, pressure, and force.
With increasing area, there’s decreasing pressure (force constant)
Will a small or large syringe have more pressure (same force)?
small. Less surface area.
What’s the equation for pressure?
P=F/a
How many bevels does a syringe needle have?
3
Given the relationship of pressure, force, and area, what does this mean regarding administering large amounts of fluids with a syringe?
it would be ineffective. A better choice would be a larger needle diameter (impractical) or a standard transfusion set.
How does adjusting the APL affect the spring and valve?
Increasing the APL valve increases the pressure on the valve, making it more difficult for gas to escape into scavenging.
