Liquid more energy than solid -
molecules free to move thru liquid -
weaker van der waals forces

What can it do

benefits x4

A

Humidified, titrated oxygen therapy matching or even exceeding the patients’ inspiratory flow rates.

high-flow oxygen delivery system that provides up to 60 litres per minute of warmed and humidified gas enabling an accurate delivery of an FiO2 of between 0.2 and 1.0 irrespective of the patient’s peak inspiratory flow rates.

Benef 
A reduction of anatomical dead-space by increasing pharyngeal washout
Reduced work of breathing
Provides an element of CPAP
Improvement of mucociliary clearance.
29
Q

Is SVP affected by ambient temperature

A

saturated vapour pressure (SVP) of a volatile agent is unaffected by ambient pressure.).

30
Q

SVP of sevoflurane

A

at a temperature of 20°C is approximately 21 kPa or 21% of the atmospheric pressure (100 kPa)

31
Q

% vaporiser output

A

% vaporiser output = % calibrated x (calibrated pressure/ambient pressure)

At standard atmospheric pressure the vaporiser output = 2% x (100kPa/100kPa) = 2%

At an atmospheric pressure of 200kPa the vaporiser output = 2% (100kPa/200kPa) = 1%

The clinical effects of the volatile agents are determined by their partial pressure in
tissues. Ultimately the output of the vaporiser is unaffected as the partial pressure of the volatile agent delivered is the same at each ambient pressure ( 2% of 100kPa = 2kPa and 1% of 200kPa=2kPa)

32
Q

Lack system or coaxial Mapleson A

A

Mod A fresh gas flows through an outer tube (30 mm) and exhaled gases flow through the inner tube (14 mm).

33
Q
APL
What is it
What is the function
How does it work
Pressure needed during during SV
The disc
A

adjustable pressure limiting valve / expiatory valve allows exhaled gas & excess fresh gas to leave the breathing system.

3 ports - inlet - patient - exhaust

It is a one-way,
adjustable spring-loaded valve,
gases escape - pressure exceeds the valve opening pressure.

During spontaneous ventilation a pressure of less than 1 cm of water (0.1 kPa) is needed when the valve is in the open position (not 2 cm of H2O).

The disc rest on knife edge seating Hydrophobic
Stop condensation cause stick

34
Q

Resevoir bag - pressure limit

Why (what law)

A

The reservoir bag is highly compliant and when over inflated, the rubber bag can limit the pressure in the system to about 40 cm of H2O.

This is due to the law of Laplace, which states that the pressure will fall as the radius of the bag increases:

Pressure = 2 x tension/radius.

45
Q

Risk w/ soda lime

How it occurs

what does it occur more with

What is another risk
with that type of flow

A

Dry
passing oxygen - long periods,
subsequent use using any of the volatile

Carbon monoxide.

High concentrations CO:
desflurane
enflurane.

CO production from isoflurane is less but still significant.

Also sevoflurane and halothane can produce smaller amounts of CO.

sevoflurane there is the potential for the generation of compound A with low-flow anaesthesia
