Question
Answer
The current anesthesia gas machine standard is:   ASTM F1850 (American Standard for Testing & Materials)  
🗑
SPDD stands for:   Supply, processing, delivery, disposal  
🗑
Supply: fresh gases get to the anesthesia machine by _____ and _____   pipeline, cylinders  
🗑
Supply: power gets to the anesthesia machine by _____ and _____   electricity, battery backup  
🗑
Processing: 6 ways the machine prepares gases before delivery to the patient are:   valves, flowmeters, oxygen flush, low pressure alarms, vaporizers, common gas outlet  
🗑
Delivery: 3 ways that delivered gases are controlled & monitored:   breathing circuits, ventilators, integral monitors  
🗑
How are waste gases disposed?   scavenge systems  
🗑
Cylinder pressure = ____ pressure system Pipeline pressure = ____ pressure system   cylinder = high pressure system pipeline = intermediate pressure system  
🗑
Low pressure system includes:   flowmeter tubes, vaporizers, check valves, common gas outlet  
🗑
Cylinder pressure is measured by:   Bourdon gauges  
🗑
What type of regulator is on a cylinder? What type of regulator is on a pipeline?   Cylinder = 1st stage regulator Pipeline = oxygen 2nd stage regulator  
🗑
1st stage regulator drops cylinder pressure to:   40 - 48 psi (intermediate pressure)  
🗑
The volume of oxygen & air in E cylinder is:   625 - 700 L  
🗑
The volume of nitrous oxide in E cylinder is:   1590 L  
🗑
Service pressure (PSI) of oxygen & air is:   1900  
🗑
Service pressure (PSI) of nitrous oxide is:   745  
🗑
What safety system is on cylinders? How is the safety disabled?   PISS (pin index safety system). Disabled if pins are missing or if more than 1 washer is used  
🗑
Valve stem on cylinder is fragile & contains one or more of the 3 safety features:   frangible disc (bursts w/ high pressure to release cylinder contents); safety relief (opens w/ high pressure to release cylinder content); fusible plug (alloy melts at 200 degrees F to release cylinder contents)  
🗑
Service pressure is:   the pressure in the cylinder  
🗑
For cylinder supply the hanger yoke does 3 things, which are:   orients the cylinder, gas tight seal, ensures unidirectional flow  
🗑
Which gas law pertains to volume & pressure?   Boyle's Law  
🗑
Minimum of 1 E cylinder of O2 is:   1000 psi (about 1/2 tank)  
🗑
What is the formula to calculate oxygen cylinder supply duration?   O2 volume (L) = capacity in L * gauge pressure (psi) divided by service pressure (psi). Divide this answer by O2 flow rate  
🗑
What is the formula to estimate oxygen cylinder supply duration?   Time remaining (hrs) = PSIG divided by (200 * flow rate)  
🗑
Nitrous oxide is manufactured by heating _________   ammonium nitrate  
🗑
Nitrous oxide has a service pressure of ____ until ___% of the tank is used   745 psi, 75%  
🗑
The only reliable way to determine the remaining volume of nitrous oxide is to:   weigh the tank  
🗑
The energy consumed in conversion of liquid to gas is called:   latent heat of vaporization  
🗑
Pipeline pressure is _____ psi & _______ (low, intermediate, or high) pressure   45 - 55 psi, plus or minus 5; intermediate pressure  
🗑
______ prevents pipeline supply from going to the O2 tank instead of to the patient (prevent retrograde flow)   one way check valve  
🗑
Pipeline pressure is monitored by ______   bourdon gauge  
🗑
With pipeline supply what is the safety mechanism for low pipeline oxygen pressure?   Fail-safe valve stops delivery of all other gases to prevent hypoxic gas delivery  
🗑
If there is a loss of pipeline oxygen pressure the 3 things that are to be done are:   open E cylinder fully, disconnect pipeline O2 supply, consider low fresh gas flows & manual ventilation (b/c bellows are driven by O2 pressure)  
🗑
What is the function of the scavenging system?   collects anesthetic waste gases from the breathing circuit & ventilator & remove it from the operating room  
🗑
Per OSHA standards the exposure to halogenated agents is less than ____; halogentated agents w/ nitrous is less than ___; nitrous oxide is less than _____   halogenated: 2 ppm halogenated agents w/ N2O: 0.5 ppm N2O: 25 ppm  
🗑
Room ventilation requires a minimum of ___ air exchanges per hour w/ at least ___ fresh/outdoor air exchanges per hour   15 air exchanges; 3 fresh/outdoor air exchanges  
🗑
5 ways to limit waste gas exposure are:   use low fresh gas flows, check machine for leaks, disconnect N2O at wall outlet at end of day, use TIVA, or avoid use of nitrous oxide  
🗑
The 2 types of disposal interfaces are _____, which includes ___ & _____; and _____, which includes ____   Closed interface includes active & passive scavenge. Open interface includes active scavenge  
🗑
Closed interface communicates with ________ & _____ (does / does not) hiss   communicates w/ atmosphere only through valves; does not hiss  
🗑
Open interface communicates with ________ & _____ (does / does not) hiss   communicates directly with atmosphere; does hiss  
🗑
In the closed interface system, what is the difference between passive & active scavenge?   Passive: needs positive pressure relief valve Active: vacuum. Has positive & negative pressure relief valves  
🗑
Improper use of the open interface =   OR contamination  
🗑
_____ & _____ systems rely on proper vacuum control   Active closed interface & open interface scavenge systems  
🗑
Hissing with closed interface means:   positive pressure relief valve is releasing waste gases into the operating room  
🗑
Hissing with open interface means:   proper operation & waste gas scavenge  
🗑
