Anesthesia Lab Flashcards
(145 cards)
Delivering anesthetic gas (21% O2) in air would lead to _____ due to hypoventilation and V/Q mismatch.
Hypoxemia
What is the minimum requirement of O2 acceptable for people and small animals?
30-35% O2 (FiO2 = 0.30-0.35)
What is the metabolic requirement for oxygen?
5-10 mL/kg/min
Which of the following cyclinder colors is matched incorrectly?
a. Green: oxygen
b. Blue: nitrous oxide
c. Yellow: Medical air
d. None of the above are matched incorrectly
d. None of the above are matched incorrectly
Cylinder pressure is ususally measure in ____ and breathing system pressures are measured in ____
psi = cylinder pressure cmH2O = breathing system pressure
Gas cylinders, yokes, pressure gauges, and regulators are considered high, intermediate or low pressure systems?
High pressure systems (100-2200+ psi)
Which are the low pressure systems?
Breathing system = pressure in patietns’ lungs <15 psi
Which are the intermediate (50psi) pressure systems?
Central O2 supply Post-regulator Flush valve Input to flowmeter Driving gas for ventrilator
What is the volume capacity of a ____ cylinder is 660L and the volume capacity found in the ____ cylinder is 6600L.
E cylinder: 660L H cylinder: 6600L
Both the H and E cylinder are filled to a pressure of ____ psi.
2200Psi
True/False: Pressure is inporportional to volume
False **proportional
What is the calculation to determine the remianing O2 in a tank?
2200psi/660L = psi left on E tank / x liters
How do you figure out how many minutes of O2 are left?
minutes remianing = x liters/ flow (liters/min)
True/False: It is not possible to calculate the amount of N2O gas remaining in the cylinder based upon the pressure of liquid that remains.
True
What decreases tank pressure ot a safe working pressure (approximately 50 psi) which is then supplied to the flowmeter?
Regulator
True/False: Gas enters at the bottom of the flowmeter at 50 psi and exits at the top of the flowmeter at 15 psi.
True
What system delivers O2 from the intermediate pressure area of the machine (50psi)?
Quick flush
What are examples of vapor inhalants
Halothane Isoflurane Sevoflurane Desflurane
What controls the rate of gas flow through the vaporizer?
Flowmeter
What is the first thing that you should do before the O2 flush valve is used?
Disconnect the patient from the curcuit temporarily
Where do we read the flow?
Middle of the ball and top of the bobbin
Between what rate does the quick flush deliver gas directly to the patient circuit?
35-75 L/min
Where is the O2 flowmeter located?
Right of the N2O flowmeter
What would be the % O2 delivered to a patient if there was 1L of O2 and 6 L N2O?
14% 1 L O2 + 6 L N2O = 7 O2 = 1 / 7 = 14%
