Q

At sea level, the agent monitor measures the ET isoflurane at 8mmHg. Covert this to volumes %

converting partial pressure to volumes %

A

1%

volumes % = (partial pressure/total pressure) x 100

(8/760) x 100

if you were given volume % and asked to fing out partial pressure you would do:
(volume%/100) x total pressure

Q

At sea level, the agent montior measures the end tital sevo at 2%. What is the partial pressure of sevo in the exhaled tidal volume?

converting volumes % to a partial pressure

A

15.2mmHg

partial pressure = (volumes% / 100) x total pressure

(2/100) x 760
2/100 = 0.02

if you wre given partial pressure and asked to calculate volume %, you would do:
(partial pressure/total pressure) x 100

Q

Which component of the o2 delivery equation is MOST affected by Henry’s law?

A. Cardiac output
B. Hemoglobin
C. Arterial O2 sat
D. PaO2

A

PaO2

At a constant temperature, the amount of gas that dissolves in a solution is directly propotional to the partial pressure of that gas over the solution

DO2 = CO x [(1.34 x Hgb x SpO2) + (PaO2 x 0.003)] x 10

multiplying the PaO2 by oxygen’s solubility coefficient (0.003) allows us to calculate how much o2 is dissolved in the blood

long story short:
henrys law = solubility; o2 dissolved = solubility

Q

Solubility coefficient of o2 vs co2

which is more soluble?

A

O2 = 0.003 (3 zeroes)
CO2 = 0.067

co2 is 20x more soluble

okay trying to make sense of this:

20 x more soluble so

3x 2 = 6
one tenth more soluble (20, 1 zero = 1 tenth), move decimal one tenth (one zero) to the right
0.003 to 0.06

if it was 200x more soluble , you would need to move the decimal over 2 spots, 0.6

Q

4 ways we can speed rate of transfusion

what law

A
  1. increase radius with large bore IV
  2. decrease viscosity by diluting blood with NS or running it through a warmer
  3. decrease length by not using longer tubing than you really need
  4. increase the pressure gradient with a pressure bag or increase the height of the IV pole

poiseuielles

okay so you know poiseuielles law deals with: radius, viscostiy, and length so start there
1. increase radius with large bore IV
→ increase radius, increase flow *greatest impact

  1. decrease viscosity by diluting blood with NS or running it through a warmer
    → increased temp = decreased viscosity
    → decreased viscosity = increased flow
  2. decrease length by not using longer tubing than you really need
    → decreased length = increased flow
  3. increase the pressure gradient with a pressure bag or increase the height of the IV pole
    → adaption of Ohms law [current = voltage difference/resistance → flow = pressure gradient/resistance]
    →increased pressure gradient = decreased resistance = increased flow

Q

What are the 2 princples applied to Jet ventilation:
- critical pressure
- venturi
- bernoulli principle

coanda

which is the best option?

A

Venturi and Bernoulli

Venturi is best option

Venturi = if the pressure inside the tube falls below atmospheric pressure, air is entrained into the tube

Bernoulli- as airflow in a tube moves past hte point of constriction, pressure at the constriction decreases.

31
Q

label

A

Bernie- as airflow in a tube moves past the point of constriction, the pressure at the constriction decreases (bernie has left, no more pressure)

Venturi- if the pressure inside the tube falls below atmospheric pressure, then air is entrained into the tube

Coanda- a jet flow will attach itself to a nearby surface and will continue to flow along that surface even when it curves away from the intitial direction

32
Q

Which principle/effect talks about how if velocity is (high/low), the pressure exerted on the walls of the tube will be (high/low)

A

Bernoulis
inversely related

think of river bank

low velocity - pressure highest on banks
high velocity (going through narrow points, water speeds up, pressure lower on banks)

33
Q

As airflow in a tube moves past the point of constriction, the pressure at the constriction (increases/decreases)

what prinicple/effect?

A

decreases

bernoullis

-think of river, as soon as a narrow point (rushing waters) ends, the pressure then decreases at that point (assuming it was a bolus of water lol)

-or traffic- once cars move past one lane traffic- pressure decreases

idk this is dumb
