Q

What is the best configuration for spontaneous ventilation

A

Mapleson A

Bag is at beginning of circuit with the shape of a “T”

26
Q

What is the purpose of the BAIN CIRCUIT?What is it tested with?

A

Tested with Pethick test

Delivers fresh gas through the inner tube.

27
Q

Why is the PETHICK test performed for the bain system?

A

Because the inner tube is a risk for kinking and disconnection.

28
Q

The Bain is a modified ______. Can it be used for spontanous or controlled ventilation ?

A

MAPLESON D. Can be used for both spontaneous and controlled ventilation .

29
Q

For the BAIN circuit what do you do to prevent rebreathing,

A

FGF should be 2.5x the minute ventilation

30
Q

Bain CIRCUIT explains

A

FGF enters circuit through the thin inner tubing and exhaled gas exits via the corrugated tubing

31
Q

Outer tubing in Bain circuit should be

A

Transparent.

32
Q

Pitfall of the bain circuit

A

INner tubing can become kinked or disconnnected. which will convert the tubing into dead space, putting the patient at risk for hypercarbia

33
Q

Explain how you do the PETHICK TEST For the bain which is modified mapleson D

A

Occlude the elbow at the patient end of the circuit
Close the APL valve
Use the Oxygen flush valve to fill the circuit
Remove the occlusion at the elbow while flushing the circuit.

34
Q

Interpreting the results of the PETHICK test: If the inner tube is patent, what will happen and meaning?

A

Venturi effect will cause the reservoir bag to collapse. The circuit is SAFE

35
Q

Interpreting the results of the PETHICK test: If the inner tube is occluded what will happen and meaning?

A

The reservoir bag will remain inflated, CIRCUIT NOT SAFE

36
Q

All Maples circuits lack _________ and a _________

A

Unidirectional valves

CO2 ABSORBER.

37
Q

Resistance in mapleson circuit?

A

LOW, no valves no absorbent

38
Q

Because low resistance in mapleson , it is attractive for what population

A

Pediatric

39
Q

Only mapleson design with no APL or reservoir

A

Mapleson E

40
Q

Worst configuration for controlled ventilation is the______why?

A

Mapleson A because there is no FGF and risk for hypercabia. Structure: FGF enters far from the patient and THE APL is close to the patient.

41
Q

Mapleson from best to worst for CONTROLLED VENTILATION

A

DFE>BC>A

42
Q

Mapleson A is the worst because what is needed at least to prevent rebreathing

A

FGF as high as 20L/min

43
Q

The design that make the MAPLESON A worst for controlled ventilation also makes it the best for

A

SPONTANEOUS ventilation

44
Q

Mapleson from best to worst for SPONTANEOUS VENTILATION

A

A>DFE> CB

45
Q

Which circuit configuration as far as open or close does not have dead space?

A

Open , because it is open to the atmosphere.

46
Q

What are the most common Mapleson circuits ?

A

D, E , F, also known as the “T”Piece group

47
Q

In MAPLESON D, E,F where does the FGF enter and where is the APL located

A

FGF enters at the proximal end of the circuit and the APL is located distally near the reservoir bag.

48
Q

Excellent choice for controlled breathing

A

MApleson D because it is the reverse of mapleson A.

49
Q

The MAPLESON D is an example of

A

SEMI-OPEN
Bag reservoir = yes
Rebreathing = no

50
Q

Semiopen circuit is

A

Mapleson A-F
Bain system
Circle system w/ FGF>Ve

51
Q

Which circuit contains a reservoir bag but does not allow rebreathing of exhaled gases

A

Semiopen

52
Q

A circle system with a FGF of 3L/min is an example of a

A

Semiclosed

53
Q

Predecessor to BAIN system?

A

Mapleson D.

54
Q

There is _______of exhaled gases if the _____is high enough. Can ventilation be controlled with that technique?

A

NO REBREATHING;FLOW;

cannot be controlled with that techniques atmospheric air is entrained unpredictably

55
Q

Why should the APL valve be fully open during spontaneous ventilation?

A

So pressure remains negligible during both inspiration and expiration.

56
Q

As far as FGF and MV what is sufficient to prevent rebreathing?

A

FGF= MV

57
Q

Best Mapleson for spontaneous ventilaiton

A

A

58
Q

Mapleson D is efficeint during? Why ?

A

Controlled ventilation because FGF forces alveolar air away from the patient and toward the APL valve

59
Q

What is the role of silica for the soda lime?

A

If you increase the hardness of soda lime by adding sillica, it minimizes the risk of inhlation of sodium hydroxide dust and also decreases resistance of gas flow.

60
Q

BEcause of this , dead space is limited to the distal area of the point of inspiratory and expiratory gas mixing at the Y-piece

A

Unidirectional valves
