Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Question
Answer
Pressure equals   Force exerted by atoms and molecules  
🗑
Pressure is generated by   Ke  
🗑
Speed direction and movement of atoms and molecules   Not constant and varies  
🗑
Pressure equation   Pressure = force/area  
🗑
English unit of pressure   Pound  
🗑
Pound is not a unit of   Mass  
🗑
English unit of force   Lbs per sq feet or lbs per sq inch  
🗑
Si means   System international  
🗑
Si unit of pressure   Newton per sq meter  
🗑
Newton per sq meter is aka   Pascal or kilo pascal kPa  
🗑
One atmosphere equal   101.3 Kpa or 14.69 lbs per sq inch  
🗑
Desflurane is under how much pressure?   2atm or 1500mmhg ( why mmHg?)  
🗑
Cylinder pressure   Sum of all molecular forces in a close container  
🗑
Pressure in cylinder is measured in   Psig  
🗑
Empty cylinder pressure inside is what   750 psig same as atmospheric pressure  
🗑
Full tank of n20   745psig  
🗑
Full tank of O2   1900 to 2200 psig  
🗑
Gauge that measure pipeline or cylinder   Bourdon gauge  
🗑
Bourdon gauge has no fluid so it's a   Aneroid  
🗑
Mechanism of bourdon gauge   Hollow metal bent into curve sealed and linked to clock like mechanism As pressure increases tube straightens out causing into read higher pressure  
🗑
Who regulated bourdon gauge   ASTM aka American society for testing and measuring  
🗑
What are the regulation set forth by the ASTM   Must have a 38 mm diameter, loweest pressure between 6 and 9 o'clock and name and color of gas been gauge  
🗑
Other units of pressure which isn't gas   MmHg or torr or cmH2o  
🗑
Mmgh or torr used for   Tourniquet or BP cuff  
🗑
On anesthesia machine high pressure or continuos pressure is measured in what?   Cm of water  
🗑
Three physics principles in liquids   1. Proportional pressure and height. High then high pressure and vice versa 2. Pressure in liquid increases with depth below surface 3. At given depth pressure is equal in all directions  
🗑
Turp can cause what   Dilutional hypo natremia  
🗑
Etiology of dilutional hypo natremia due to Turp   Absorption of irrigating fluid by open venous channels Due to the height of irrigating fluid. Higher the bag higher the absorption .  
🗑
Pressure reliefe valve anesthesia machine is located where?   Near common gas outlet,  
🗑
Pressure relieve valve opens   To atmosphere and releases fresh gas when preset gas is exceeded  
🗑
Reliefe valve limit the machine to do what?   Deliver jet ventilation  
🗑
Inspiratory andexpiratory valves are what?   Unidirectional  
🗑
Unidirectional valves contain what   Disks that rise and fall.  
🗑
Incompetence of unidirectional is not   Uncommon! System can be cleaned.  
🗑
Pressure reducing valves aka   Pressure regulators  
🗑
Mechanism of pressure regulators   Balance the force of spring against force from compressed gas  
🗑
Where does surface tension occur   At air/liquid interface  
🗑
Surface tension is what   The attractive forces between molecules at surface of liquid  
🗑
Surface tension creates what?   Barrier between air and liquid, fast prevents liquid evaporation, allows certain insects to walk on water  
🗑
Measurement of surface tension   Dynes per cm at 20 deg C  
🗑
Dynes is a unit of what?   Force  
🗑
Thin film of liquid in lungs tends to do what   Create surface tension and collapse the lung  
🗑
What prevents collapse of lung   Surfactant  
🗑
Surfactant is secreted by?   Type 2 alveolar epithelial cells  
🗑
Surfactant works how?   Decrease surface tension, decrease cohesive forces  
🗑
3 physiological benefits of surfactant?   1.increase overall lung compliance 2. Reduce tendency of small alveolar to dump into larger 3. Reduce fluid leak from pulmonary capillaries (pulmonary edema)  
🗑
Si unit of pressure?   Pascal or newton per sq meter or Kpa  
🗑
Pascals principle states?   Pressure applied to a completely enclosed fluid ( water balloon) that pressure is transmitted undiminished to all parts of the fluid and the enclosing wall  
🗑
Pascals pressure principles has to do with what?   Aneurism  
🗑
Pressure exerted by force of heart contraction is distributed   Undiminished throughout vascular system  
🗑
Pressure at a weak point of a vessel   Has higher pressure acting upon it, may cause rupture and dissect  
🗑
Law of Laplace has to do with what?   Pressure, surface tension, radius  
🗑
Laplace law and alveoli   Magnitude of inward pressure is equal to twice the surface tension divided by the radius  
🗑
Laplace equation   P = 2T/R P is dynes/cm pressure T is surface tension dynes/cm R is radius  
🗑
Laplace implies what in respect to alveoli   Larger surface tension involves a larger force pushing inward into alveoli  
🗑
Relationship of radius and force   Small radius = large force so it's inversely related  
🗑
Smaller alveoli with higher pressure does not collapse and fill larger alveoli why?   Surfactant  
🗑
Surfactant acts on both small and large alveoli BUT   Has greater effect on smaller alveoli  
🗑
Outcome of surfactant?   Surfactant reduces increased wall tension  
🗑
During ohs what diverts the blood to cardio-bypass?   Aortic cross clamp  
🗑
Mechanical response of left vent aortic cross claming is determined how?   Largely by intrinsic length tension velocity of myocardium  
🗑
Tension equals?   Pressure x radius ( think after load)  
🗑
After load is determined by?   Ventricular radius and systolic intra ventricular pressure  
🗑
Cross clamping occurs during what?   OHS, abdominal aortic aneurysmectomy and infrarenal aortic cross clamping  
🗑
Tube is?   Longer length than diameter  
🗑
Orifice is?   Larger diameter than length  
🗑
Rate of fluid flow through a tube is based on what 5 things?   1. Radius or cross section 2. Pressure gradient difference between p1 and p2 3. Length of tube 4. Viscosity 5. Density of fluid  
🗑
Flow equation of gas or liquid   Flow = quantity of liquid / time F = Q / time Quantity of material per unit of time is flow.  
🗑
Flow rate is proportional to what?   Pressure  
🗑
Flow in respect to diameter ?   Halfing the diameter reduces flow to one sixteenth 1/16 of original  
🗑
Length of tube in respect to flow?   Cut length in 1/2 and you DOUBLE the flow  
🗑
Most profound impact on flow comes from?   Diameter  
🗑
Meniscus shapes?   Convex or concave  
🗑
Convexity or concoveity based on what?   Molecular interaction of liquid and glass.  
🗑
Convex meniscus   Hg for example to interaction with glass does not wet glass  
🗑
Concave meniscus   Surface tension of Liquid like water interact with glass and sides are pulled up, " wets" the glass.  
🗑
