|
Definition
| NITROUS OXIDE 25PPM, HALOGENATED AGENTS 2PPM, 0.5PPM FOR HALOGENATED GASES IF NITROUS OXIDE IS ALSO BEING USED. |
|
|
Term
| DESCRIBE A PASSIVE SYSTEM? |
|
Definition
| WEIGHT OF GAS WILL FORCE AIR OUT. |
|
|
Term
| DESCRIBE A ACTIVE SYSTEM? |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| WHAT 2 BREATHING CIRCUITS CAUSE CONTAMINATION? |
|
Definition
| JACKSON-REES (MAPELSON TYPE F) AND MODIFICATION OF MAPLESON E REBREATHING CIRCUIT. BOTH ARE DIFFICULT TO SCAVENGE. |
|
|
Term
| WHAT ARE 5 COMPONENTS OF THE SCAVENGING SYSTEM? |
|
Definition
| GAS COLLECTING ASSEMBLY, TRANSFER MEANS, SCAVENGING INTERFACE, GAS-DISPOSAL ASSEMBLY TUBING, AND ACTIVE OR PASSIVE GAS-DISPOSAL ASSEMBLY. |
|
|
Term
| WHAT IS THE MALE ADAPTER SIZE ON TRANSFER MEANS TUBING AND WHAT IS THE RATIONALE BEHIND THAT? |
|
Definition
| 30MM. PREVENTS IT FROM BEING MISPLACED WITH BREATHING CIRCUIT. |
|
|
Term
| WHAT SHOULD THE SIZE BY OF A GAS DISPOSAL ASSEMBLY TUBING? |
|
Definition
| SHORT, STIFF, AND NON COMPLIANT. |
|
|
Term
| FOR A SCAVENGING INTERFACE IS NO VALVES ARE PRESENT WITH IT BE OPEN OR CLOSED? |
|
Definition
| OPEN TO HAVE + PRESSURE RELEASE. |
|
|
Term
| THE ONLY INTERFACE THAT HAS TO HAVE A NEGATIVE RELEASE VALVE IS WHAT TYPE OF SYSTEM? |
|
Definition
| A VACCUM SYSTEM WHICH IS ACTIVE |
|
|
Term
| THE SCAVENGING SYSTEMN CAN BE EITHER ___ OR ___. |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| WHAT DOES AN OPEN SCAVENGING SYSTEM MEAN? |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| WHAT DOES A CLOSED SCAVENING SYSTEM MEAN? WHAT DOES IT REQUIRE? |
|
Definition
| IT IS CLOSED TO THE OUTSIDE ATMOSPHERE AND REQUIRES NEGATIVE AND POSITIVE PRESSURE RELIEF VALVES. |
|
|
Term
| WHAT DOES A RESERVOIR DO? |
|
Definition
| IT IS EITHER A CHAMBER OR BAG THAT ACCEPTS WASTE GAS OVERFLOW WHEN THE CAPACTIY OF THE VACUUM IS EXCEEDED |
|
|
Term
| WHAT DOES THE GAS COLLECTING ASSEMBLY DO? |
|
Definition
| CAPTURES EXCESS ANESTHETHIC GAS AND DELIVERS IT TO THE TRANSFER TUBING. IS IS VENTED THROUGH THE APL AND VENTILATOR SPILL VALVE. IN SOME MACHINES THE VENTILATOR DRIVE GAS IS VENTED THROUGH THE SCAVENGE SYSTEM. THIS CAN OVERWHELM THE SCAVENGING SYSTEM. |
|
|
Term
| PRESSURE DOWNSTREAM OF THE GAS COLLECTING SYSTEM SHOULD BE KEPT BETWEEN WHAT? |
|
Definition
| -0.5 AND + 3.5 CM H20. ADD UP TO + 15CM H20 DURING SCAVENGE OBSTRUCTION. |
|
|
Term
| WHAT DOS TRANSFER MEANS DO? |
|
Definition
| CARRIES EXCESS GAS FROM THE GAS COLLECTING SYSTEM TO THE SCAVENING INTERFACE. |
|
|
Term
| OCCLUSION OF TRANSFER MEANS CAN CAUSE WHAT |
|
Definition
| BREATHING CIRCUIT PRESSURE TO INCREASE AND CAN RESULT IN BAROTRAUMA. |
|
|
Term
| IS THE TRANSFER SYSTEM UPSTREAM OR DOWNSTREAM FROM PRESSURE BUFFERING FEATURES OF THE SCAVENGING INTERFACE? |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| WHAT DOES THE SCAVENGING INTERFACE PROTECT? |
|
Definition
| PROTECTS THE BREATHING CIRCUIT OR VENTILATOR FROM EXCESSIVE POSITIVE OR NEGATIVE PRESSURES THAT MAY BE GENERATED IN THE SCAVENGE SYSTEM. |
|
|
Term
| WHAT TYPE OF PRESSURE RELIEF IS MANDATORY IRRESPECTIVE OF THE TYPE OF DISPOSAL SYSTEM? |
|
Definition
| POSITIVE PRESSURE RELIEF. |
|
|
Term
| IF THE INTERFACE IS ACTIVE WHAT PRESSURE RELEIF IS NECESSARY TO PROTECT FROM EXCESSIVE SUBATMOSPHERIC PRESSURE? |
|
Definition
| NEGATIVE PRESSURE RELIEF. REMEMBER ACTIVE REQUIRES A NEGATIVE PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE. |
|
|
Term
| DOES THE OPEN INTERFACE CONTAIN VALVES? |
|
Definition
| NO. IT IS OPEN TO ATMOSPHERE. IT ALLOWS BOTH POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE PRESSURE RELIEF THROUGH HOLES AT THE TOP OF THE CHAMBER. |
|
|
Term
| WHAT SHOULD OPEN INTERFACE BE USED ONLY WITH? |
|
Definition
| ACITVE DISPOSAL SYSTEMS THAT USE A CENTRAL EVACUATION SYSTEM. |
|
|
Term
| WHAT DOES OPEN INTERFACE SYSTEM REQUIRE? |
|
Definition
| A RESERVOIR BECASUE WASTE GASES ARE INTERMITTENTLY DISCHARGED IN SURGES AND FLOW FROM EVACUATION SYSTEM IS CONTINUOUS. THE OPEN INTERFACE IS SIMPLE, BUT MAY POLLUTE THE ATMOSTPHERE IS RESERVOIR DOES NOT HAVE SUFFICIENT VOLUME. |
