A

increases chance of rebreathing CO2
ends where inspiratory and expiratory gas streams diverge
apparatus dead space can be minimized by separating inspiratory and expiratory streams as close to patient as possible

Q

Mapleson D

A

reversed config of A
can be used for both soon and controlled vent

during spon… FGF: 2-3 x MV
controlled… FGF: 1-2 x MV

most efficient mapleson during controlled vent

20
Q

Mapleson E (T piece)

A

modification of ayres T piece (used to give O2 in ICU/PACU)
NO RESERVOIR BAG or POP OFF

SV… FGF: 2-3 x MV

21
Q

Mapleson F (Jackson-Rees)

A

modification of mapleson E/t piece w adjustable pop off valve at end of reservoir bag
popular in peds

22
Q

Bain

A

coaxial mod of Map D
FGF tubing within large bore corrugated tubing

allows exhaled gas to wam inspired gas, preserves heat and humidity

used for controlled or spon vent
FGF same as map D

disadvantage - potential for inner tube leaks, kinking or disconnection

23
Q

ambu bag

A

modified map Awith non-rebreathing valve

capable of delivering high fiO2
reservoir self filling
requires high fresh gas flow
depends on min vent

24
Q

advantages of mapleson system

A 
1 - simple components
2 - lightweight
3 - can provide positive pressure vent
4 - low resist
5 - portable
6 - if using inhaled anesthetics, more predictable anesthetic conc and decreased room pollution
25
disadvantages of mapleson system
1 - requires calc of FGF (both SV & CV) 2 - control of anesthesia depth variable, diluted as FGF increases but better control than open system 3 - if FGF not maintained, CO2 buildup and rebreathing 4 - min rebreathing of other gases, poor conservation of heat/humid 5 - FGF costly 6 - requires special assembly and function complex
26
components of circle system
1 - fresh gas flow source 2 - inspiratory/expiratory unidirectional valves 3 - inspiratory/expiratory limbs/corrugated tubing 4 - Y piece connector 5 - adjustable pressure limiting valve (APL, over flow, pop off) 6 - reservoir bag 7 - CO2 absorber
27
Circle system
can be used as semi-open, semi-closed, or closed (depends on adjustment of APL valve... FGF rate differs for each system) prevents rebreathing of CO2 by chemical neutralization allows rebreathing of other exhaled gases
28
reservoir bag
"breathing bag" "resp bag" neoprene or rubber neck - 22mm female fitting to male system tail - end opposite neck
29
functions of reservoir bag
1 - accumulation of gas during exhalation 2 - assist/control of vent 3 - visual/tactile monitor to observe spon resp 4 - protect against excessive pressure reservoir of gas
30
breathing tubes
large bore, non rigid corrugated tubing rubber or clear plastic (see foreign obj through) 22mm female fitting w machine patient end - T piece 22mm male, 15mm female coaxial fitting
31
functions of breathing tubes
flexible, low resistance, light weight connection | reservoir
32
APL
pressure relief, popoff, safety relief releases gases to scavenge or atm exhaust port user adjustable, clockwise, closes valve and increases pressure in system rpovides control of pressure in system - pressure gauge on absorber
33
APL for spon resp
valve fully open | close partially only if reservoir bag collapses
34
APL for assisted vent
valve partially ope bag squeezed on inspiration careful and frequent adjustments necessary
35
APL for mech vent
valve closed (if machine not equipped with switch)
36
where is dead space in circle system?
if unidirectional valves working properly, only dead space is between Y piece and patient
37
what rules must circle arrangement follow?
1 - unidirectional valves must be located between patient and reservoir bag on both insp and exp limbs of circuit 2 - FGF cannot enter system between exp valve and patient 3 - APL cannot be located between patient and insp valve
38
Semi Open circle system
- not used often, occasionally for sedation ( mask placed over face to increase FiO2) - no rebreathing occurs - requires very high FGF (10-15L/min) to elim rebreathing of gas - no conservation of wastes gases and heat - APL valve open all the way
39
semi closed circle system
- most commonly used breathing system in US practice - requires relatively low flow rates (1-3L/min) - conserves some heat and gases - some rebreathing of a agents and exhaled gases (minus CO2) - APL valve partially closed and adjusted as needed
40
closed circle system
- 3rd world countries - inflow fas exactly matches metabolic needs/ O2 consumption of patient using very low flows (O2 flow = 200ml/min) - total rebreathing of all gases after CO2 absorption - total conservation of all exhaled gases - APL valve closed
41
O2 Consumption
VO2 = 10 x Kg 3/4 70kg patient: 10 x 70 3/4 = 242ml/min
42
advantages of circle system
- relative stability of inspired gases - conservation of moisture and heat - prevention of OR pollution - can be used for closed system anesthesia - can be used with daily low flows with no rebreathing of CO2 - economy of anesthetics and gases - can scavenge waste gases
43
disadvantages of circle system
- complex design - has at least 10 connections (potential leaks, obstruction, disconnection) - 1/3 malpractice claims resulted form disconnects of circuit - potential of malfunctioning valve - increased resistance to breathing - less portable and convenient than mapleson systems due to bulkiness
44
leak test
``` set all gas flows to zero occlude Y piece close APL pressurize to 30cm water using O2 flush hold pressure 10 sec listen for sustained pressure alarm open APL and see that pressure decreases ``` (doesn't assess integrity of unidirectional valves)
45
flow test
attach breathing bag to Y piece turn on vent assess integrity of unidirectional valves
