25
Flow control valves regulate the amount of flow into what type of flow tube
Thorpe
26
Flow meters are located downstream from all safety devices and alarms, except
The oxygen analyzer
27
The flush valve is required by standard to deliver how many liters per minute
35 to 75 L per minute
28
If flush valve is required to fill breathing circuit with oxygen, what phase of ventilation should this be down to prevent bot trauma?
Expiratory phase
29
The flush valve delivers what quantity of O2 per minute
35 to 75 L per minute
30
In the hypoxic guard, considering nitrous, oxygen and oxygen, what is the minimum oxygen, concentration and ratio
Minimum of, 23 to 25% oxygen three to one ratio
31
There’s only one system that determines that oxygen is present what is it?
Inspired oxygen analysis
32
What are the two types of sensors in current use?
Electro, chemical, galvanic, fuel cell and paramagnetic analyzer
33
The tech six is heated to what degree Celsius producing a vapor pressure of approximately 1500 mmHg
Heated to 39°C
34
The low pressure systems consist of
Includes the vaporizer, common gas, outlet, manifold, check valves. Low pressure is 16 psi and is the pressure after the second stage regulator. It begins at the flow meter and ends at the common gas outlet.
35
Intermediate pressure begins and ends where
Begins at the pipeline ends at flow meter valves
36
High-pressure begins and ends where
Begins at the cylinder, ends at the cylinder regulator
37
What does low pressure leak test evaluate
Integrity of the machine from flow control valves to the common gas outlet
38
Barrel trauma risk increases when plateau pressure exceeds
35 cm/H20
39
Define plateau, pressure and when it is measured
The pressure in the small airways and LØVË after target title volume is delivered. It is measured during inspiration pause, and there is no airflow so airway resistance does not affect plateau pressure.
40
Increased peak, inspiratory, pressure and increased. Plateau pressure is a result of decreased compliance, causes of decreased compliance.
Endo bronchial intubation Pulmonary edema Pleural effusion Tension pneumothorax Atelectasis Chest wall Abdominal insufflation Ascites Trendelenburg position In adequate muscle relaxation
41
Increased positive inspiratory pressure with no change in plateau pressure can result from resistance has increased, or inspiratory. Flow rate has increased what are examples of increased resistance
Kinked and endotracheal tube Endotracheal tube, cough, herniation Bronco spasm -think of white bronco OJ resistance Bronchial secretions Compression of the airway Foreign body aspiration
42
On capnography an increased, alpha angle suggests what
Expiratory airway obstruction
43
In capnography an increased beta angle, suggest what
Rebreathing due to a faulty inspiratory valve
44
What are the two methods of carbon dioxide analysis?
Mainstream in line Sidestream diverting
45
At what point in the cap graph is entitle carbon dioxide measured
Point D, which is the beta angle and beginning of inspiration
46
On the cap graph phase 1 which is point A to point B what is happening?
Exhalation of an anatomic dead space
47
On the cap Graff phase 2, which is represented by points B to see what is happening
Exhalation of anatomic, dead space, and alveolar gases
48
On the cap graph phase 3, which is also points C an D what is happening?
This is exhalation of LVL our gas, and also were entitled CO2 measurement takes place
49
On the cap graph phase 4, which is also points D and E what is happening?
Inspiration of fresh gas that does not contain carbon dioxide. This is also where beta angle is.
50
What is normal angle of the alpha angle at point C
100 to 110° an increase suggest obstruction
51
Where is the beta angle measured?
Point D
52
The beta angle is normally a 90° angle. What does an increased angle suggest?
Rebreathing typically from a faulty inspiratory valve
53
On the capnography, how will airflow obstruction look and water examples of what caused this
Prolonged up, stroke with increased alpha angle COPD, bronco spasm, kinked, ETT
54
What are causes of cardiac oscillations on capnography?
Caused by the heart beating against the lungs, more common and children, because they heart is close to the lungs
55
What does cure rare cleft capnography look like and what causes this?
Normal alphabet angles, with a slight indentation just before the beta angle from spontaneous breaths during mechanical ventilation, suggest inadequate muscle relaxant reversal, or a lack of synchronization between intercostal muscles and diaphragm
56
On capnography, what does low entitle CO2 appear like and water causes
Plateau phase as well below normal caused by hyper ventilation, decreased carbon dioxide production or increased LVL, our dead space, examples, light, anesthesia, metabolic, acidosis, hypothermia, hypotension, pulmonary embolism
57
What does elevated entitle CO2 with normal plateau look like on capnography and what are examples or cause?
Be sure to look at baseline. It returns to zero so it is not considered rebreathing. It’s either caused by increased carbon dioxide production or decreased LVL ventilation causes are MH, sepsis, fever, hyperthyroidism, hypo, ventilation, narcotics.
58
On capnography inspired carbon dioxide what does it look like and what are causes?
Look at the baseline it does not return to zero. This is rebreathing carbon dioxide causes exhausted, absorbent, incompetent expiratory valve hole in the inner tube of vein in adequate Mapleton circuit or rebreathing, under drapes of a patient not intubated.
59
On the cap ground, what does incompetent inspiratory valve look like?
It looks more like a ski hill on expiration. There’s a widened beta angle part of the exhale breath. Re-enters the respiratory limb.
60
On capnography, what does a leak in sample line during positive pressure ventilation look like
Normal with a knob at the end right before inspiration, positive pressure during inspiration pushes the CO2 rich gas through the sample line, which results in the peak
61
On capnography explained by phasic expiratory plateau what does this look like what causes it?
There is a big valley in the middle. It’s caused after a single lung transplant valve or gas from the transplanted long and the disease long have different time constants there are two peaks one for each lung
62
Name three causes of increased entitle CO2
Increased CO2 production and delivery to the lungs, such as MH thyrotoxicosis and tourniquet removal Decreased LVL ventilation, such as CNS, depressant drugs, COPD, residual, neuromuscular, blockade Equipment malfunction, CO2, absorbent, exhaustion, unit, directional valve, malfunction, increase dead space
63
What are causes of decreased entitle CO2?
Decreased CO2 production and delivery to the lungs, hypothermia, decreased cardiac output, VQ mismatch, pulmonary embolus Inadequate anesthesia Equipment, malfunction, esophageal, intubation, poor seal with an LMA, sample line leak
64
What is the best Mapleton circuit for spontaneous ventilation and what is the worst?
Best is a worst is B all dogs bite
65
What is the best and worst Mapleton circuits for controlled ventilation
Best is D and worst is a don’t be arrogant
