LASERS
Stands for
How are they varied
Carbon dioxide lasers are used to
Argon or krypton Use & spectrum
Nd YAG
Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation
Differing mediums are used in order to vary the depth of penetration, wavelength of light and power of the beam
CO2 cut tissues and coagulation precisely.
needs He laser - aiming guide
cornea risk > retina
Argon - blue-green - maximally absorbed by red
Ophthalmology, photocoagulation and dermatology.
400-700
Neodymium yttrium-aluminium-garnet (Nd YAG)
near infra-red lasers,
debulk tumours photocoagulation.
1064nm laser -
waves are Parellel monochrotmatic in phase non divergent high energy intesinty w/ low power source
Trachy where inserted size connector tip cut fenestrated metal LT properties
Where - stoma trach rings 2-4 15mm connector as standard Tip cut square reduce obstruction v wall Great curve - air directed vocal cord Metal - long term, bactericidal, uncuff, inner - removed clean
Lasers safety
LSO
Laser safey officer
Trained + aware precautions
Eye safety & approp for wavelength
Entry controlled + signs
Reflective surfaces avoided (not necc matt black)
Good ventilation for fumes
Manley MP3 How work number bellows & valves TV max How adjust Mapleson?
FLOW GENERATED MIN VOL DIVIDER
Minute volume divider pneumatic driven
Entire FGF delivered to pt - diveded into set volume
FGF drives - rapid detect failure
2 sets bellows & 3 unidirectional valve
TV 1000
Inflation pressure adjust weight on a rail
Like mapleson D during spontaneous vent
Not suit poor complinace
The relationship between frequency (f), wavelength (λ) and velocity (v) is as follows:
λ = v/f
Straight blade laryngoscopes
Name 4
how are they used
Miller, Soper, Wisconsin and Seward.
advanced over the epiglottis which is then lifted in order to view the larynx. Straight blades are commonly used for intubating neonates and infants but can be just as easily be used in adults.
What side is the macintosh
Right sided as standard (left for facial deform)
Polio - angle
20-135 degrees to the handle
Irong lung ventilators during the polio epidem
McCoy
Based on the standard Macintosh blade
(not Robertshaw’s), with a lever operated hinged tip, which can improve the view at laryngoscopy.
PA catheter
Number of lumens
Calculate temp
Baloon
meaures LAP
4 lumens (blue=right atrial, yellow=pulmonary artery, white=proximal infusion port, red=balloon air inflation). A further channel contains a wire connecting to a thermistor.
thermistor at its distal end can measure core temperature and cardiac output using a thermodilution technique
The balloon is filled with air to enable catheter migration in the direction of blood flow.
The left atrial pressure is measured indirectly as the catheter wedges in a pulmonary artery, the tip measuring the pressure in the pulmonary capillaries which are in continuity with pulmonary veins and hence the left atrium.
LMA - weight + cuff volume
Size Weight Maximum Air in Cuff 1 <5 kg 4 ml 1.5 5 to 10 kg 7 ml 2 10 to 20 kg 10 ml 2.5 20 to 30 kg 14 ml 3 30 kg to small adult 20 ml 4 Adult 50-70 kg 30 ml 5 Big adult 70-100 kg 40 ml 6 Adult >100 kg 50 ml
High frequency ventilation (HFV)
What is it
Rate+ volumes
small tidal volumes delivered at high frequencies, maintaining gas exchange without barotrauma or other deleterious effects of intermittent positive pressure ventilation (IPPV).
s ventilation at four times the normal rate (not ten times), and uses tidal volumes of 1-3 ml per kg (not per hour).
can use conventional ett
three modes used (not two):
High frequency positive pressure ventilation (HFPPV)
High frequency jet ventilation (HFJV) and
High frequency oscillation (HFO).
vasive form of ventilation that uses high frequency oscillation within a cuirass.
to a cuirass, so that it covers them from the axilla to the lower abdomen. It is not connected directly to an endotracheal tube. The Hayek oscillator works by decreasing and increasing the pressure within the cuirass, causing inspiration and expiration respectively.
Doppler effect
Apparent change in frequency -
movement object in relation to the source.
Human hearing frequency
Medical ultrasound
15Hz - 20000hz
- 2.5 MHz to 15 MHz
LMA Size
Prox end size
Size 2 is 7 mm
Size 3 is 10 mm
Size 4 is 10 mm
Size 5 is 11.5 mm.
Proximal end is a standard 15 mm (not 22 mm).
