What color is O2 cylinder?!?
green
What color is N2O cylinder?
blue
What color is CO2 cylinder?
grey
What color is air cylinder?
yellow
What color is He cylinder?
orange
why store tank upright?
decrease chance of condensation accumulating on the side of the cylinder (weakest pt) and causing corrosion
Are O2 and N2O flammable?
no, but they support combustion so keep away from flammable agents
How does the DOT test cylinders?
Hydrostatic testing q 5 yrs
How does hydrostatic testing work?
1. cylinder emptied and filled with water
2. submerged in water
3. pressurized to 3000 psi
4. causes cylinder to expand
5. water gets displaced into burette
6. if there's a hole in cylinder bubbles form and furter displace water in burette
What are the pin positions for O2?
2,5
What are the pin positions for N20?
3,5
What are the pin positions for air?
1,5
What is the pressure of the pipeline O2?
50-60 psi
What do compressed air systems have that make them potentially dangerous to people?
oil-lubricated, can cause oil pneumonitits
(system is used for air tools not people)
(100 psi)
What is a simple breathing system with no valves, hi gas flows, dilution of anesthetic with room air, and for spontaneous ventilation only?
the open system: insufflation
What is the only way to accurately deliver concentration of gas during insufflation anesthesia?
to exceed the peak inspiratory flow with flow of gas
What has one way inspiratory and expiratory valves; gas supply must equal TV unless there is a self-inflating reservoir bag?
AMBU valve
typical valve resistance = 1-2 cm H2O
What is an example of a demand valve?
SCBA
What is a 3 limb system:
fresh gas flow
pt
reservoir/outflow?
Ayre's T-piece
What are advantages to Ayre's T-peice system?

(2)
valveless/low resistance
minimal dead space
What are disadvantages of Ayre's T-peice system?

(4)
High gas flow only
2-3 x minute ventilation
non-scavenging
spontaneously ventilating only
What system added a bag to the t-peice systme and expiratory valve?
Magill system
expiratory valve at mask improved efficiency in spontaneously vent
What is the Mapleson A system used for?
spontaneously vent peds - expiratory valve close to pt, fresh gas flow = min vent
What ist the Mapleson D used for?
aka Bain system
controlled ventilation
What are advantages to the Bain system?
light weight
low resistance
minimizes work of breathing
What system has 2 valves, reservoir bag and CO2 absorber?
Circle system
Describe the flow thru the circle system
1. Fresh gas enters from CGO of anesthesia machine
2. Flows thru insp. limb 1-way valve
3. thru insp breathing tube
4. thru y peice to pt
5. from pt thru exp breathing tube
6. thru 1-way exp. valve
7. in and out of reservoir bag
8. thru absorbent canister
9. back to pt
(excess gas out thru APL or scavenging system)
What is resistance typically in circle system from tubing and valves?
2cm H2O PEEP
What is typical granule size in CO2 absorber?
4-8 mesh
What is it called when flow is greater than minute volume in circle system?
open system
What is it called when flow is less than minute volume in circle system?
semi-closed system
What is it called when pt is consuming the amound of gas given in circle system?
closed system
What is the main source of resistance in the circle system?
valves (adds 80 mJ of work; resistance increases work of breathing 27%)
What can depress cardiac filling, CO and increase rate of anesthetic induction?
PEEP
True/False
Spontaneous ventilation functions as a negative feedback system during GA.
true
What provides a source of gas to meet peak inspiratory demand (~50 L/min)?
Reservoir bag
What provides a recepticle for pt's exhaled gas and fresh gas flow?
Reservoir bag
What provides some protection for overpressure in breathing ciruit?
Reservoir bag
What pops off excess pressure whenever valve setting is exceeded?
APL valve
In which anesthesia machine is the pt's TV a combo of vent volume and fresh gas flow?
Narcomed
In which anesthesia machine is the pt's TV independent of fresh gas flow?
GE Avance
What happens on exhalation using the GE Avance?
pt's gas and fres gas flow into bellows;
pop off valve opens when bellows full
What happens on inhalation using the GE Avance?
pop-off valve closes;
bello's gas and fresh gas flow to pt
