Q

Oxygen Tank

A

E tank

14.7psi / 5L
(PSI/14.7) x 5L
L/flow = min

Holds 660L
1900psig

17
Q

Nitrous Oxide Tank

A

Pressure gauge (psig) does not change until N2O unable to move from liquid to gas state (no liquid present)
Open valve → releases gas ↓pressure
Liquid N2O changes to gas state ↑pressure
Equilibrates on pressure gauge Ø change
*Weigh tank to determine N2O remaining
Able to hold more volume w/ less psi than E cylinder tank d/t ↑ Moles (liquid more dense than gas)
Mass N2O present / GMW (44g) = # Moles (n) N2O
V = nRT/P

Holds 1590L
745psig

18
Q

Joule-Thomson Effect

A

Decrease in temperature as heat loss result when gas expands freely into space
Compression & expansion
Normal conditions compression/expansion occurs slowly enough that heat transfer (exothermic/endothermic reactions) not felt of observed
Heat change dissipates into the environment

19
Q

Compression

A

Exothermic reaction
↑ kinetic energy when compressed
Heat lost to the environment
Anesthesia machine gas compression via narrow valve = heat
Ignition possible, especially in high O2 environment

20
Q

Expansion

A

Work requires energy (heat)
Endothermic reaction
Area surrounding rapidly expanding gas will feel cold
Gas cylinder release - cold regulator

21
Q

Adiabatic Compression/Expansion

A

Rapid compression (exothermic) heat liberation does not have time to dissipate
Things in vicinity or in contact w/ gas will heat up
Rapid expansion (endothermic) surrounding area will feel cold
OR insulated area where compression/expansion occurs ჻ heat trapped and unable to dissipate

22
Q

Concentration Effect

A

Accelerating alveolar gas concentration by increasing inspired concentration
Alveolar fraction (FA) / Inspired fraction (FI)
Optimal FA/FI ratio = 1
How quickly anesthetic gas enters bloodstream & crosses the blood-brain barrier
Patient who receives higher concentration will feel anesthetic effects sooner

23
Q

2nd Gas Effect

A

Large volume uptake (highly soluble) gas N2O delivered at high concentration to accelerate alveolar partial pressure increase of anesthetic (ex: Isoflurane)
Concurrent gas administered w/ anesthetic
Oxygen + anesthetic + nitrous oxide
N2O highly soluble and quickly absorbed into blood → leaves void in alveolus
Effect: Concentrates anesthetic gas & suctions in more gas from airways = ↑ anesthetic
Result: Able to anesthetize patient more quickly d/t ↑ anesthetic concentration in the alveolus
