Q

fick’s law equation

A

diffusion rate = [(p1-p2) x area x solubility] / [membrane thickness x square root of molecular weight]

“maybe you do need to know it” - Katrin

20
Q

Fick’s law explains three concepts- what are they?

A

concentration effect
second gas effect
diffusion hypoxia

21
Q

concentration effect- the higher the concentration of agent delivered the faster anesthesia is achieved, AKA __

A

overpressuring

22
Q

second gas effect- two anesthetics of varying onset are given together, and the slower gas achieves anesthetic level more quickly than if given alone. Usually __ and another gas

A

nitrous

23
Q

nitrous is __ times more blood soluble than nitrogen

A

34

24
Q

what is the blood:gas partition coefficient of nitrogen?

A

0.014

25
Q

what is the blood:gas partition coefficient of nitrous?

A

0.470

26
Q
  • compared with nitrous, the carrying capacity of blood for nitrogen is very poor
  • according to Fick’s law of diffusion, the rate of diffusion of a gas into or out of the blood is __ to its blood solubility
A

proportional

27
Q

explain concentration effects as it relates to uptake of nitrous and alveolar volume

A

slide 45

diffusion gradient remains high because the alveoli shrinks as nitrous diffuses into the blood

28
Q

explain the correlation between concentration and second gas effects

A

slide 47
basically, as nitrous diffuses it shrinks the alveoli and thus increases the concentration of the second gas (iso/sevo/des) which therefore reaches anesthetic concentration much quicker.

29
Q

explain the dilutional effect when nitrous is shut off for emergence and the phenomenon of “dilutional hypoxia” or “diffusion hypoxia”

A

slide 50

when the nitrous is turned off, the alveoli expand and thus decreased paO2 and cause a temporary hypoxia

30
Q

CO2 diffuses __ times faster across alveolar and capillary membranes than O2

A

20x

31
Q

equilibrium of an inhalational agent occurs in the body when the partial pressure of the gas is the __ everywhere

A

same

32
Q

how does the fetus receive O2 and drugs across the placental barrier?

A

diffusion

33
Q

diffusion of a gas from alveoli to blood or blood to alveoli requires a difference in partial pressure (p1-p2 = change in p)

A

represented by delta P

34
Q

what are the main factors determining diffusion rates across membranes for non-gases is the __ for non-ionized or the __ gradients for ions
also __ __ and __

A

diffusion gradients
electrochemical gradients
lipid solubility
size

35
Q

both liquids and gases are fluids. Forces associated with fluids include _, _, and _

A

gravity
pressure
friction

36
Q

friction is resistance to flow from the surface interaction and is __ to viscosity

A

proportional

37
Q

viscosity is the property of a fluid that resists __

A

flow

38
Q

all flow moves from higher pressure to __

A

lower

39
Q

Laminar flow is __

A

type of flow in which all molecules of a fluid travel in a parallel path within the tube

40
Q

in laminar flow, the molecules in the center of the tube encounter the least adhesive force from the walls of the tube and therefore __

A

move at twice the velocity of the mean flow

41
Q

flow decreases approaching the walls and __ at the wall

A

ceases

42
Q

true laminar flow predominates in the smallest airways or __

A

terminal bronchioles

43

transitional flow is a __ of laminar flow and turbulent flow

A

mixture

44
Q

turbulent flow is described as __

A

chaotic with irregular eddies throughout

45
Q

Poiseuille’s law states that __ will have the most dramatic effect on flow

A

radius

46
Q

state Poiseuille’s law

A

47
Q

doubling the radius of the tube results in a __ fold increase in flow, tripling the radius increases the flow by __ fold
