Equipment Exam

Question 1

oxygen tank

Answer 1

Source of compressed gas (O2)
E tank 650 L
2000 PSI full

Question 2

oxygen tank pressure gauge

Answer 2

Shows how much pressure is in the O2 tank
2000 PSI full tank
< 500 PSI is when you want to switch the tank

Question 3

oxygen and scavenger hoses/connection

Answer 3

O2 hose carries gas from the tank to the patient
scavenger hose carries CO2 and waste inhalant from patient to scavenging system

Question 4

oxygen flow meter

Answer 4

Controls the flow of O2 into the breathing circuit

Question 5

oxygen flush valve

Answer 5

100% oxygen - bypasses the flow meter and vaporizer
useful for pressure checks or dilute inhalant

Question 6

vaporizer

Answer 6

allows for controlled amounts of vapor to be produced from anesthetic liquid

Question 7

fresh gas inlet

Answer 7

Where gas enters the circuit

Question 8

Inspiratory & expiratory valves

Answer 8

unidirectional valves that prevent rebreathing of CO2

Question 9

Corrugated tubing

Answer 9

delivers gas to the patient

Question 10

Y-piece

Answer 10

connects corrugated tubing to the patient
attaches to ET tube or mask

Question 11

CO2 absorbent

Answer 11

soda lime or carbalime acts as a base to neutralize carbonic acid

takes CO2 out of the gas to allow rest of the gas to be rebreathed

Question 12

Pressure gauge/manometer in the circuit

Answer 12

Indicates pressure in the rebreathing circle
Should be (0-2cmH2O)

Question 13

Pop-off valve

Answer 13

allows excess gas to leave the breathing system and into scavenging system

Question 14

scavenger holding tank

Answer 14

stores expired waste inhalant and CO2

Question 15

reservoir bag

Answer 15

reservoir for the gas after CO2 has been removed
