Q

Fick’s law of diffusion says that diffusion of the gas into the blood depends on: (3 things)

A

The thickness of the membrane
The partial pressure of the gas
The solubility of the gas (highly soluble in the blood means it wants to get into the blood and prefers to stay there)

Q

Graham’s Law of effusion says that gas molecules will effuse through a ___ or ____.

A

Channel or pore.
The smaller the molecule the easier it will effuse to the other side. But this is all dependent on solubility. CO2 is more water soluble than O2 so it is more diffusable.

Q

Over-pressurization means you are administering a high concentration of the gas (therefore higher partial pressure) so PA will approach ____ more rapidly. The goal is for PA to equal Pi because that means the concentration delivered is what the patient is actually getting.

25
How does increased alveolar ventilation (by increasing the rate not tidal volume) increase the rate of anesthesia induction? BUT
The quantity of the gas pt is taking in is higher --> The PA will equilibrate with the Pi much faster BUT the increased ventilation leads to a dilution of CO2. Low CO2 leads to constriction of cerebral blood vessels. Less cerebral blood flow leading to less gas getting to the brain where it should be to work!!!
26
What is the bodies safe guard when we take in too much IA?
The IA works directly on medullary center (dose dependent) and will slow rate of breathing when dose is high. The decreased rate decreases alveolar ventilation which will decrease the amount of gas we are taking in to help decrease the PA :)
27
If the body decreases its RR because too much IA, concentration in the brain will decrease because the PA is low now. That is a shift from _. As the PBrain decreases what happens to the RR? Does this happen with MV?
P brain to PA Increases No
28
Solubility is a RATIO of how the inhaled gas distributes between 2 compartments at _ when pressures are _
equilibrium equal
29
What is the relative capacity of each compartment to hold a volatile?
Solubility
30
Solubility is dependent on temperature. If the temp of the blood increases, solubility increases or decreases?
Decreases
31
If the temp of the blood decreases, solubility increases or decreases?
Increases
32
If blood solubility is low, is induction prolonged or rapid?
Rapid
33
If blood solubility is high, is induction prolonged or rapid?
Prolonged
34

2.54
35
What is the Blood:Gas partition coefficient of Enthrane
1.9
36
What is the Blood:Gas partition coefficient of Isoflurane
1.46
37
What is the Blood:Gas partition coefficient of NO
0.46
38
What is the Blood:GAs partition coefficient of Desflurane?
0.42
39
What is the Blood:Gas partition coefficient of Sevoflurane?
0.69
40
IA are not highly soluble in the brain. What does that mean?
They do not want to stay there! As soon as the pressure gradient shifts Pbrain > PA, the gas will start to leave
41
When you shut the gas off, the Pa and PBrain were at equillibrium, but fat was not. Where does that shift things?
From brain to muscle and fat. Then will have to come out the same way to be breathed out
42
Why do you wake up slower with the gases that took longer to get you to sleep?
Once they move from brain to blood they still do not want to leave blood to get back into the alveoli to be exhaled
43
List the recovery time of the gases from longest to shortest
Longest, Halothane Isoflurane Sevoflurane Shortest, Desflurane
