ppt 5 breathing system Flashcards
When gases pass through a tube the pressure at the outlet will be?
lower than that at the inlet.
gas moves from what concentration of pressure to what concentration of pressure?
high pressure to low pressure.
In laminar flow where is flow the fastest?
center of the tube where there is less friction.
resistance is directly proportional to what during laminar flow?
flow rate
8 x viscosity x length of tube
If resistance is directly proportional to flow rate then when flow is increased what happens to resistance?
resistance will increase as well.
when flow is less than resistance will be less.
What factor is most important determiner in turbulent flow compared to laminar flow?
density becomes more important in turbulent flow, where in laminar flow viscosity is more important.
A smaller ETT will do what to the work of breathing?
make it harder, adds resistance bc diameter is reduced.
changes in resistance parallel changes in?
work of breathing, if resistance goes up then so does work of breathing.
what are the two most distensible breathing system components? (one is more than the other)
the reservoir bag is #1
and breathing tubes (somewhat)
What is compliance?
compliance- the ratio of a change in volume to a change in pressure.
If you have less dead space will that cause more or less re breathing?
less dead space = less re breathing
size for male fittings and female fittings?
male is 22mm and female is 15mm
what is the volume on a reservoir bag?
3 L for adults
breathing tubes (long ones on a machine) are designed to retain what?
moisture and heat
If the APL valve is fully open will there be pressure on the patient?
no, when fully open no pressure on the patient.
How will you have the APL valve set for spontaneous breathing?
Fully open
If you partially close the APL valve what does that result in?
CPAP bc it is a little bit of pressure.
How does the APL valve “remain” during inspiration and during experation?
Remains closed during inspiration and opens during exhalation
When you close the APL valve to any degree what does that create?
Closing the APL valve creates pressure, the more closed the more pressure
Is the APL valve in use when the vent is on?
No, when the Vent is in use the APL valve is not in use.
