Q

explain core-to-peripheral redistribution of body heat

A

under anesthesia, our warm core heat flows to our peripheries as a result of vasodilation, especially during the first hour

Q

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

A

boiling

16
Q

what is the vapor pressure of sevo?

A

157

17
Q

what is the vapor pressure of iso?

A

238

18
Q

what is the vapor pressure of halo

A

243

19
Q

what is the vapor pressure of des?

A

669

20
Q

vapor pressure depends solely on __

A

temperature

21
Q

will vapor pressure change with changes in altitude?

A

nope, just changes in temperature

22
Q

What volatile agent would boil in the mountains?

A

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

23
Q

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?

A

more
HLH
higher agent in lower vaporizer = higher concentration to patient

24
Q

If you add a lower vapor pressure agent into a vaporizer intended for a higher vapor pressure agent, will you deliver more or less agent to the patient?

A

less
LHL
lower pressure agent in higher pressure vaporizer = less agent to the patient

25
Q

what is meant by vapor pressure?
it is the pressure exerted by the molecules in the gas phase when equilibrium is established between the number of molecules both exiting and returning to liquid phase from gas phase.

A

the vapor pressure of a substance is its partial pressure at the equilibrium point for molecules entering and leaving the gas phase for the liquid phase at a particular temperature

26
Q

What happens when the vapor pressure of a liquid exceeds the total pressure in the gas phase?

A

when the vapor pressure of a liquid exceeds the total (atmospheric) pressure, the liquid boils

27
Q

what happens to the temperature of a liquid as vaporization occurs?

A

since vaporization requires energy, the temperature of a liquid DECREASES as vaporization proceeds.

28
Q

what is the difference between the heat of vaporization and the LATENT heat of vaporization?

A

heat of vaporization is the number of calories necessary to convert 1ml of liquid into vapor

latent heat of vaporization is the number of calories required to change 1 gram of liquid into vapor without a temperature change

latent deals with grams instead of ml’s

29
Q

will your patient get more of less volatile if you accidentally put sevo in your iso vaporizer?

A

less
sevo 157
iso 238

less vapor pressure agent in a higher pressure vaporizer = less agent to patient
LHL

30
Q

will your patient get more of less volatile if you accidentally put des in your sevo vaporizer?

A

more
des 669
sevo 157

greater vapor pressure agent in a lower pressure vaporizer = more agent to patient
HLH
