week 7 kinetic molecular theory etc. Flashcards
heat is __ that is transferred as a result of a temperature difference, as such it can be viewed as an __ flow
energy
energy flow
what is Brownian motion?
attractive and repulsive forces between H2O molecules making their motion quite random
think of brownies randomly moving around
heat is thermal__, whereas temperature is the quantitative measurement of that __
energy
energy
What is standard temperature in Kelvin?
273 K
anesthesia disrupts thermoregulatory mechanisms by causing vaso__, and thus loss of heat
vasodilation
explain core-to-peripheral redistribution of body heat
under anesthesia, our warm core heat flows to our peripheries as a result of vasodilation, especially during the first hour
Evaporation is heat loss by way of __ evaporating off your body
water
radiation is heat loss between your body and the surrounding __
air
convection is loss of heat by __ or wind
fan
conduction is loss of heat through direct __ with a colder surface such as a cold OR table
transfer
radiation is the transfer of energy between 2 objects that are __ in direct contact but have different temps, radiation is the most significant mech. of heat loss by our bodies under anesthesia
not
through what route does a BURN patient lose the most heat?
evaporation
rank the routes of heat loss from greatest to least
radiation > convection > evaporation > conduction
what percent of heat loss occurs by radiation and convection combined?
70%
40% radiation
30% convection
the latent heat of __ is the energy needed to change a liquid into a gas
vaporization
the temperature at which the bulk of a liquid converts to a vapor is the __ point. It is the temperature at which the vapor pressure of the liquid equals the atmospheric pressure
boiling
what is the vapor pressure of sevo?
157
what is the vapor pressure of iso?
238
what is the vapor pressure of halo
243
what is the vapor pressure of des?
669
vapor pressure depends solely on __
temperature
will vapor pressure change with changes in altitude?
nope, just changes in temperature
What volatile agent would boil in the mountains?
Des, if not kept in an enclosed space, will boil in the mountains because its vapor pressure (669) will be greater than the barometric pressure
If you add a higher vapor pressure agent into a vaporizer intended for a lower vapor pressure agent, will you deliver more or less agent to the patient?
more
HLH
higher agent in lower vaporizer = higher concentration to patient
