Medical Gas Delivery Exam
Questions Complete Solutions
New Update
DISS - -diameter indexed safety system, uses differend thread pitches, to
prevent connection of wrong tanks or accidental interchange of low-pressure
medical gas connectors less than 200psi
- compressors (what do they do?) - -1. provide "oil free" compressed air to
power equipment
2. mix with oxygen to provide lower O2 concentrations
- Piston Compressor - -compressor, driven by an electric motgor, carbon or
teflon piston rings seal the pison, eliminating the need for oil, used to run
ventilators
- Centrifugal Compressor - -Compressor using centrifugal force, used to run
ventilators
- H Tank - -244 cubic feet of O2....Fudge Factor= 3.14 Weighs 135 lbs.
- E Tank - -22 cubic feet of O2 Fudge Factor = .28 Weighs 16 lbs.
- ASSS - -American Standard Safety System used for larger tanks
(F- M-G-H tanks)
- PISS - -Pin Index Safety System, used for small tanks AA-E tanks
- Compressed Air - -Pressurized and Filtered air
- 3 types of Compressors - -Piston, Centrifugal(used for ventilators) and
Diaphragm
- Concentrators - -Provide O2-powered by electricity, used mostly in nursing
homes. Two types, Molecular seive and Membrane
- Diaphragm Compressor - -utilize a flexible diaphragm driven by an electric
motor to compress the air. Typically used to power small nebulizers, not
used for amounts of compressed air
- Oxygen tank, color - -Green
- Carbon Dioxide tank, color - -Gray
, - Nitrous oxide tank, color - -Blue
- Helium tank, color - -brown
- Nitrogen tank, color - -Black
- air tank, color - -yellow
- Molecular Seive Concentrator - -Looks like a strainer, better @ delivering
constant FiO2
- Membrane Concentrator - -aka, enricher...filters nitrogen out of air
- Liquid reservior system - -liquid O2, found in hospitals, bulk supply system
- Agency that classifies cylinders - -DOT: department of transportation
- Tanks made of ... - -High strenght Steel, formed under high heat, molded
into shape 3AA table, heat treated,
- Tank duration formula - -PSI Pressure x Cylinder Factor / Flow
- BVM - -Bag Valve Mask
- What to you do to large tanks (subtract/add what?) - -subtract 500
- Inspiratory - -taking air in
- "hungry" - -patient needing air
- One cubic foot of O2 = - -28.3 liters
- regulators (combo of what?) - -combo of flowmeter and reducing valve,
(All one piece)
- Uncompensated Thorpe Tube O2 flowmeter (what position, prevents
change or does not prevent change in downstream resistance?) - -mostly
used for giving breathing treatments..operates only in upright position
-Uncompensated DOES NOT prevent change in downstream resistance to
change the flow
- Compensated Thorpe Tube O2 flowmeter (what position, prevents change
or does not prevent change in downstream resistance?) - --Has 50 PSI
attachment operates in any postion
