DR KOST ANESTHESEA
MACHINE WITH QUESTIONS
AND WELL VERIFIED ANSWERS
[GRADE A+]
What do you do if you have an issue with the machine during a case -
✔✔ANS✔✔- trouble shoot for 30 sec - 1 min
- Take the patient off and bag ventilate
How many more times greater is misuse of the anesthesia gas delivery
equipment than equipment failure - ✔✔ANS✔✔3x, lack of
familiarity with the equipment and a failure to check machine function
are the most frequent causes
What do you do with a malfunctioning machine -
✔✔ANS✔✔Take out of service
,What kind of gas is in the respiratory reserve bag -
✔✔ANS✔✔Not fresh gas, still has CO2
,
Compressed gas is delivered in two ways -
✔✔ANS✔✔Compressed gas and via pipeline
What agency sets the regulation for anesthesia machines -
✔✔ANS✔✔ASTM (American Society for Testing and Materials)
1850
N2O is manufactured by - ✔✔ANS✔✔The thermal
decompensation of ammonium nitrate. Must contain 99% N20 by
volume
How is O2 manufactured by - ✔✔ANS✔✔Fractional distillation
of liquified air. This is the most common method
How are O2 and N20 stored - ✔✔ANS✔✔O2 is stored as a gas
and N2O is stored as a liquid
-N2,O2,air gas form
-CO2 - liquid
, Compressed gas purity is regulated by who -
✔✔ANS✔✔Pharmacopeia of the United States (USP)
The transportation of compressed gas is regulated by who -
✔✔ANS✔✔Department of transpiration (DOT) - the motor
safety devision
-DOT regulates everything about cylinders (thickness, construction, etc)
Tanks on the side of machine are used for what -
✔✔ANS✔✔Emergency and mobility (somewhere that does not
have pipeline availability)
Where are the valves on a cylinder - ✔✔ANS✔✔Attached to
the neck of the cylinder via tapered thread
Pressure relief device type - ✔✔ANS✔✔Disc device - a fragile
disc or burst disc, predetermined pressure is reached then the disc
ruptures and the contents are dispersed, all or nothing phenomenon
Oxygen cylinder port is where - ✔✔ANS✔✔the gasses exit the
cylinder from (point of exit)
Fusible plug (woods metal) - bismuth, tin, cadmium, and lead, low
melting point, temp softens plug with resultant loss of cylinder contents,
plug melts, all or nothing phenomenon.
Pressure relief valve - opens at extreme pressures, spring loaded
device designed to reclose and prevent gas escape once the condition
returns to normal, not a all or nothing phenomenon. Safest device
Conical depression - ✔✔ANS✔✔Receives retaining screw
