What is the inverse square law, application of it
Definition

As energy moves away from the source, its strength decreases.  The strengthof the emanating energy is inversely related to square of its distance from the source.

Application- to pressure waves, electricity, light, and radiation with the intensity of each decreasing with increasing distance from its source.

Term

Definition
Is a force between electric currents.
Term
What are the safety measures in MRI

2. No Ferrous objects in MRI area

 

Term
What is the electricity
Definition
is the change in potential energy caused by the movement of electrons from an area of high concentration to an are of low concentration ( low charge density)
Term
What is Coulomb's law states, what is the electrical potential energy unit
Definition

like charges repel wach other , and opposite charges attract each other inversely to the square of their distance.  Opposite charges will attract more when they closer together, and like charges will repel more when closer together

Energy unit is volt.

Term
What is volt represents
Definition
electrical pressure or the gradient of charges that could potentially flow.
Term
What is electrical current measurement.
Definition
an Amper, is the flow of 1 coulomb per second.
Term
What is Ohm's Law
Definition
the potential flow of electric charge is proportional to actual current, after accounting for resistance. Ohm's law measures resistance to electrical flow
Term
What is the measurement of resistance to electrical flow
Definition
Ohms
Term
What is the rule for electrical flow to occur
Definition
electricity must have a complete circuit for electrical flow to occur
Term
What are two type of currents
Definition
Direct ( DC)- one direction  and alternating (AC)- reverse direction. .
Term
In US, what current used in OR.
Definition
AC, alternating.
Term
What is impedance
Definition
resistance in AC current, is the total of all forces that impede electrical flow
Term
What is capacitance
Definition
is the capacity to store charge. A capacitor is composed of two parallel conductive plates separated by insulator. One plate store positive charges the other sotres negative charges.
Term
What is the electromagnetic inductance
Definition
is the transfer of an electric current between circuits without physical contact, using induced magnetic waves.
Term
What needs to happen for electric shock to occur.
Definition
in OR room, peronal or patient have to stay on the ground and contact the life wire in a circuit. Circuit must be complete.
Term
What is the macroshock
Definition
large amount of current conducted through te patient's skin nd other tissues . injury might be minor or severe, depending on amount of current and duration of exposure
Term
What is the microshock
Definition
is the delivery of small amounts of current directly to the heart.  The amount of current to produce ventricular fibrillation is 50 microamperes or lower.
Term
What is line isolated monitor, what is the usual setting
Definition
placed between the live wires and ground to measure their impedance to flow.   They usually set to alarm at 2-5 mA if leak occurs
Term
What would you do if line isolation monitor alarms.
Definition
1. the last equipment plugged in should be disconnected and inspected to verify it is the offending piece of equipment.
Term
What is the electrocautery.
Definition
device use high-friequency electric current to cauterize , cut, and distroy tissues.  May be unipolar and bypolar.
Term
What cautery device  should be used in pt with pacemakers.
Definition
Bypolar, does not required to place a return electrode for electric return current flow . Place magnet over pacemaker to reset it into a continuous asynchronous mode.
Term
What are two most important factors withing the control of the practitioner  from X-RAY.
Definition

1. Shielding

2. distance

Term
What gas analyser technology used to analyse anesthetic gas, CO2, O2.
Definition

1.Infrared absorption analysis,

2. raman scattering

3. mass spectrometry

4. piezoelectric gas analysis

5. photoacoustic gas analyzer

Term
What is the principle of infrared absorption analyser.
Definition
Cannot define which gas analysing. Concentration is determined by the amount of infrared absorption.
Term
 What is the idea of raman scattering analysis
Definition
the interaction of electromagnetic radiation with matter is the underlying principle. Can identify specific gas ( O2, CO2, N2, N2O, and any volatile anesthetics or mixtures except Helium) This technology requires that a gas molecules  be polyatomic for identification.
Term
What is mass spectrometry
Definition
replaced with more modern technology such as infraredabsorption or Raman scattering analysers.  Mass spectrometry ionizes gas moleculs and passes them through a magnetic field.
Term
What is Piezoelectric Gas Analysis
Definition
a piezoelectric crystal will vibrate at a set friequency when an electric current is applied to it. Can not specify the gas.
Term
What is Photoacoustic Gas analyzer
Definition
subjects a gas sample to a filtered , pulsating infrared light beam  in a closed chamber.  This gas analyzer can specify the gas, small, portable and accurate.
Term
What is polagraphic electrodes ( clark electrodes)
Definition
Oxygen analyzer.
Term
What is the mechanism of pulse oxymeter
Definition
measuring specific friequencies that are absorbed by a pulsatile blood supply , a calculation may be made to determine the percentage of oxygenated and deoxygenated blood in that sample.
Term
What are disadvantages of pulse oxymeter
Definition

1. susceptability of artifact

2. requires pulsatile flow

3. innacurate measurement in hypothermic and vasoconstricted patients

4. nail polish can interfere with accurate estimation of O2SAT.

5, Do not measure respiratory rate.

Term
What is stimulated emission
Definition
is the basis of laser function. If many atoms of a particular matter are continually energized by incident photons while their electrons are already in a higher energy state. Then, photons of the same frequency and direction wiil be emmited as the electrons are forced down to their natural resting state
Term
What is the protective measures in laser therapy
Definition

1. everybody have to have an eye shielded. For patient also saline pads and laser goggles.

2. low inspired O2 concentration

3. laser ET tubes

4. Be ready for fire

If airway fire, stop O2 flow, ventilation, extubate the pt. extinghish the fire, mask ventilate,  reintubate.
