Closed system neg
Long time to prime system
semiclosed define
Semi-closed systems have a full boundary with the surrounding atmosphere, and use a controlled source for fresh gas flow. Intake of ambient air is prevented, but excess fresh gas is vented into the surrounding atmosphere. Partial rebreathing of exhaled gas can occur. They are commonly subdivided using the Mapelson classification (see below).
Closed systems have a totally closed boundary across which no gas enters or is vented, meaning that complete rebreathing takes place. The commonest example is the circle system.

Hz from power socket and why
Why 50Hz?
The lower the frequency, the more efficient the delivery of electricity - less energy is lost from the system
Apparently 50Hz is the lowest frequency where flickering of lightbulbs is not noticeable, so this was chosen as the standard
Why do I care about this for the exam?
AC 50Hz is the most dangerous type of electrical current, in terms of causing ventricular fibrillation!

water and heat speed up and NaOH is a fast reactor to mop CO2 quickly.
amsorb
CaCl instead of NaOH holds water so no base so less CO and compound A
FYI — Amsorb (we use)
Amsorb consists of calcium hydroxide lime (70%), water (14.5%), calcium chloride (0.7%), and two agents to improve hardness (calcium sulfate and polyvinylpyrrolidine). Amsorb has half the absorbing capacity of soda lime and costs more per unit. Calcium chloride serves as a moisture-retaining agent to allow for greater water availability. As a result, there is no need for alkali agents like NaOH or KOH. Without these strong monovalent bases, calcium hydroxide lime has fewer adverse reactions associated with the breakdown of inhalation agents (such as the formation of compound A or carbon monoxide [CO]).

INCUBATION

IOP
As the globe has typically poor compliance, a small increase in volume can cause a large increase in intraocular pressure. Factors affecting volume include:
Volume of aqueous humor
Aqueous humor is a clear fluid that fills the anterior and posterior chambers of the eye, and provides avascular tissues with nutrients and oxygen whilst still allowing light to pass freely between the lens and retina. Volume of aqueous humor is a function of:
Production
Aqueous humor is produced by secretion and filtration from capillaries in the ciliary body in the posterior chamber, and circulates through into the anterior chamber.
Production is accelerated by β22 agonism
Production is inhibited by α2 agonism
Carbonic anhydrase inhibitors decrease aqueous humor production probably by decreasing sodium secretion into the eye
Reabsorption
Aqueous humor is reabsorbed into venous blood in the canal of Schlemm.
The trabeculae meshwork is the main source of resistance to reabsorption
If this is blocked, a significant reduction in reabsorption can occur and IOP will increase.
Reabsorption is affected by:
Haemorrhage
Blocks trabecular meshwork.
Muscarinic antagonism
Dilates pupil, which brings the iris closer to canal and decreases absorption.
α1 agonism
Dilates the pupil, decreasing absorption.
PGF2α
Relaxes ciliary muscle, increasing absorption.
Volume of blood within the globe
Affected by:
MAP
Venous obstruction

- Citrated whole blood is drawn through a hole in a collagen-coated membrane which is bound to adrenaline or ADP
- Under the shear stress influences, platelets aggregate and seal the hole
- This is sensed by a pressure transducer
- The time taken for platelets to occlude the hole is referred to as the closure time

sens and spec
A burglar alarm is highly sensitive if it goes off every time someone breaks in.
It is highly specific it is rarely triggered by possums on the front porch (my thoughts)
The result is that sensitivity is a measure of the probability of getting a positive result out of all the positive cases, and that specificity is a measure of the probability of getting a negative result out of all the negative cases.
- Sensitivity (also called the true positive rate, the epidemiological/clinical sensitivity, the recall, or probability of detection[1] in some fields) measures the proportion of actual positives that are correctly identified as such (e.g., the percentage of sick people who are correctly identified as having the condition). It is often mistakenly confused with the detection limit,[2][3] while the detection limit is calculated from the analytical sensitivity, not from the epidemiological sensitivity.
- Specificity (also called the true negative rate) measures the proportion of actual negatives that are correctly identified as such (e.g., the percentage of healthy people who are correctly identified as not having the condition).
The positive and negative predictive values (PPV and NPV respectively) are the proportions of positive and negative results in statistics and diagnostic tests that are true positive and true negative results, respectively

main stream vs side stream
Side stream:
fixed volume of gas continuously sampled from the circuit
aspirated through tubing, released to atmosphere or returned to circuit
rate adjusted between 50-500ml/min
errors:
sampling as close to patient as possible to minimize circuit dead space
sampling rate exceeds expiratory flow rate & inspired gas sampled
hypoventilation is sampling exceeds fresh gas flow
water vapour condensed in sample tubing/accumulates in measurement chamber – erroneous readings (filters and water traps in systems)
may have gas leakage, CO2 diffusing out
Main stream:
incorporate the infrared sensor into the circuit very close to the endotracheal tube.
Directly measure in circuit, no gas subtracted
Effects of breathing circuit and sample tubing dead space minimized, response time faster
Problems/errors:
Need to be warmed to prevent condensation
Avoid skin contact (warm, burns)
Heavy, risk circuit kinking of ETT
Requires frequent calibration
Prone to soiling with saliva, mucus
mass spectrometry
postively charged not neg!
Clinical use of mass spectrometry for expired gas analysis began in respiratory care units in the mid-1970s. They were introduced into operating rooms and anesthesia practice shortly thereafter. Because of their size and complexity, hospitals often connected many operating rooms to a single spectrometer and had the results relayed back to the anesthesiologist. The convenience plus low cost of infrared analyzers has largely phased mass spectrometry out of clinical use.
power alpha beta
Alpha value: value chosen (convention alpha = 0.05) for ‘acceptable’ level of Type 1 error. Thus accept 5% chance of incorrectly rejecting the null hypothesis (i.e. stating that there is a difference between the groups when there is not). This is important in medicine as stating that there is a difference between two drugs may cause harm to patients by incorrectly changing practice.
Beta value is a chosen value (convention 0.2) that relates to the chance of making a Type 2 error. This means that we accept a 20% chance of incorrectly accepting the H0 and stating that there is no difference between the two groups, when actually there is a difference. This is less important as although may result in delay of discovery of important advances in medicine, it is less likely to harm the patient population as would be with Type 1 error.
Power = 1 – beta, usually 80%.
- What are the determinants of sample size?
- What are the determinants of sample size?
a) Chosen alpha value: smaller value requires larger sample size
b) Chosen beta value: smaller B (higher power) means larger sample size
c) Effect size ie Delta value: if looking for small difference between two groups, sample size increases
d) Theta: underlying variance in population tested (cannot control) – large variance will increase sample size.

High HER

(a-v)/a
The hepatic extraction ratio is determined largely by the free (unbound) fraction of the drug and by the intrinsic clearance rate
With increasing hepatic blood flow, hepatic extration ratio will decrease for all drugs
drugs with low intrinsic clearance:
Hepatic extraction ratio will drop more rapidly with increasing hepatic blood flow
Hepatic clearance will not increase significantly with increasing blood flow
The last point is important. Consider a drug which is completely absorbed and undergoes 95% clearance by first pass metabolism, making its systemic bioavailability 5%. With enzyme inhibition, a minor 5% drop in hepatic enzyme activity will result in a doubling of systemic bioavailability (to 10%), which could represent a toxic concentration for drugs with a narrow therapeutic index.
verapamil as a stereotypic drug with high individual variability due to high first pass
ALSO MORPHINE
The liver also forms a reservoir of blood with a volume of 450 mL (30 mL/100 g liver tissue), half of
which may be mobilized if hypovolaemia occurs.
The portal blood can bypass the sinusoids as blood
is shunted from portal venules to hepatic venules
by the relaxation of hepatic venule sphincters.
Catecholamines can mobilize blood from the sinusoids. The liver can also buffer against an increase
in blood volume. Hepatic compliance (i.e., distensibility) is higher at high venous pressures than at
low venous pressures.
In the presence of portosystemic shunts, some portal blood bypasses first pass clearance and therefore bioavailability of drugs with a high first pass clearance will be increased

- [Na+] in aqueous phase
- most methods for plasma [Na+] measure Na+ content of fixed volume of plasma, yield misleadingly low [Na+] as lipid accounts for larger than normal % of plasma
- concentration of sodium in plasma water is unchanged, but there is less water and therefore less sodium in a given volume of plasma

renal clearance calc
Renal clearance can be calculated by dividing the
amount of a substance in urine (collected over a
given time) by the plasma concentration, P:
P
Renal clearance =
Amount of substance in
urine per unit time
Plasma concentration of
substance,
The amount of a substance in urine over a given
time is the volume of urine produced in that time,
V, multiplied by the urinary concentration of the
substance, U. Thus, for any substance,
U V
P = × Renal clearance
(plasma volume/unit time; mL/min,L/day
CrCl vs GFR
Creatinine is filtered by the renal tubule and is not
reabsorbed. Creatinine clearance is used routinely
as a method of estimating GFR. However, a small
amount of creatinine is secreted by the tubules
into the lumen so that the creatinine clearance is
slightly greater than the true GFR.

Renal clearance can be calculated by dividing the amount of a substance in urine (collected over a given time) by the plasma concentration, P: P Renal clearance = Amount of substance in urine per unit time Plasma concentration of substance, The amount of a substance in urine over a given time is the volume of urine produced in that time, V, multiplied by the urinary concentration of the substance, U. Thus, for any substance, U V P = × Renal clearance (plasma volume/unit time; mL/min,L/day
Renal BF calc
RENAL BF
Clearance of a drug that is peed out every time
PAH is filtered at the glomerulus, and any remaining in the peritubular capillaries is secreted into the lumen by proximal tubules. When the PAH concentration is low, all the plasmaperfusing, -filtering and -secreting parts of the kidney (the effective renal plasma flow is 85%–90% of the total renal plasma flow) are completely cleared of PAH. The renal clearance of PAH is therefore equal to the effective renal plasma flow, from which the effective renal blood flow can be calculated: = − Effective renal blood flow Effective renal plasma flow 1 Blood haematocrit
