Q

The five tasks of oxygen:

A
  1. Flows to the fresh gas flowmeter
  2. Powers the oxygen flush
  3. activates fail safe mechanics
  4. Activates oxygen low pressure alarm

26
Q

When should you flush to fill bellows?

A

during EXPIRATION

27
Q

Oxygen flush valve

A

Bypasses vaporizers and can dilute anesthetic

28
Q

Gate of gas outlet is held open by

A

pressure in the oxygen line
(oxygen must be present for gate to remain open)

Gate closes if oxygen pressure is not met

29
Q

Piston ventilators may operate for prolonged periods with only cylinder supplies because:

A

They do not consume oxygen to drive the bellows

30
Q

A ventilator not driven on pistons and driven on oxygen can consume a whole E cylinder in:

A

30 minutes

31
Q

Final breathing mixtures at the common gas outlet are

A

at least 23% to 25% oxygen

32
Q

How can oxygen proportioning fail (4)?

A
  1. wrong supply of gas in oxygen pipeline or cylinder
  2. Defective pneumatics or mechanics
  3. Leaks downstream of flow control valves
  4. innert gas administration (third gas such as helium)
33
Q

Low pressure alarm and hypoxic guard systems are based on

A

the pressure within the oxygen circuitry of the gas machine

34
Q

______ determines that oxygen is present

A

Inspired Oxygen Analysis

*ONLY ONE SYSTEM that does this

35
Q

Inspired oxygen analysis check

A

MUST check function before ANY anesthesia care, including MAC cases in case of needing to convert to GA

36
Q

What is used to contain liquid in the vaporizers and why

A

copper, because it has high thermal conductivity and capacity

37
Q

The rate of vaporization depends on:

A
  1. temperature
  2. vapor pressure of the liquid
  3. partial pressure of the vapor above the evaporating liquid
38
Q

vapor prsesure

A

equilibrium between molecules leaving liquid phase into gaseous phase and molecules leaving gaseous phase and entering liquid phase

39
Q

Latent heat of vaporization

A

heat required to change one mol of liquid into gas

40
Q

Specific heat

A

heat required to raise the temp of 1g of substance by 1 degree celcius

41
Q

Thermal conductivity

A

ability of a given material to conduct/transfer heat

42
Q

Ambient pressure effect*

A
43
Q

Boyle’s law

A

If volume increases, pressure decreases and vice versa

44
Q

Tec 6 vaporizers are designed specifically for_____and are ______ heated

A

desflurane, electrically heated

45
Q

Tec 6 vaporiers are pressurized to____.

A

2 atmospheres

46
Q

Desflurane must be heated to

A

maintain a constant temp and vapor pressure. It has a vapor pressure 3-4 times that of other gasses and boils at room temp, need to prevent “boiling out” at room temp

47
Q

Altitude and desflurane vaporizer output

A

Higher altitude = lower barometric pressure

You would need to increase dial at higher pressure to obtain same effect at lower altitude

48
Q

During the ____ stage, low fresh gas flows are good

A

maintenance

49
Q

increasing the flows on induction will _______ the speed of equilibrium

A

increase

50
Q

After induction, too low of flows could cause

A

awareness

51
Q

The low pressure leak test evaluates:

A

the integrity of the anesthesia machine from the flow control valves to the common gas oullet

52
Q

Evaluation of the circle system and APL valve: (where does it evaluate)

A

evaluates from common gas outlet to patient

53
Q

Circle system and APL valve evaluates: (what does it evaluate)

A
  1. Leak in circuit
    2.proper inspiratory and expiratory flow
54
Q

Gas enters the system from ______ and exits ______

A

enters from CGO by way of fresh gas delivery hose, and exits the circle to the scavenger via the APL valve

55
Q

APL valve aka

A

adjustable pressure-limiting valve

56
Q

APL valve function (4):

A

-provide dialed-in amount of pressure to patient
-PEEP
-manual ventilation
-assisted respiration

57
Q

What determines breathing circuit resistance(2)?

A

circuit diameter and length

58
Q

What machine alarms are based on circuit pressure?

A
  1. disconnection alarm
  2. high pressure alarm
59
Q

Most common critical incidents occur from

A

disconnection at the Y piece

60
Q

Boyle’s law

A

Volume of gas and pressure of gas are inversely related

61
Q

What can reliably detect a disconnection in the breathing circuit (2)?

A
  1. ETCO2
  2. Respirometer
62
Q

What is the most important part of the scavenging system

A

the scavenging interface
