Anesthesia Machine - SEE Exam UPDATED ACTUAL Questions and CORRECT
Answers
1. What is the high pressure - Begins at cylinders
system?
- Ends at cylinder regulators
2. What is the intermediate
pressure system? - Begins at pipeline
- Ends at flowmeter valves
3. What is the low pressure
system? - Begins at flowmeter tubes
How is a low pressure
- Ends at common gas outlet
4.
leak test "negative pres-
sure test" performed? - Bulb attached to common gas outlet creating negative pressure
- Done with vaporizers turned ott, then again with each vaporizer
turned on
What does the low pres-
- If bulb inflates = leak
5.
sure leak test assess?
- - 65 cm H20
6. How is a high pressure
leak test performed? - Integrity of low pressure circuit from flowmeter valves to common
gas outlet
- Closing APL to 30 cm H20
7. What does the high pres-
sure leak test assess? - Observing airway pressure gauge
- If pressure drops below 30 cm = leak
- Integrity of low pressure system and breathing circuit
8. - Hanger yoke

13. Regarding SPDD model, - Ventilator drive gas
where is the supply loca-
tion? - Pipeline into back of anesthesia machine
14. Regarding SPDD model,
where is the processing
** How gas enters machine
location?
- Inside machine up to the common gas outlet

where is the delivery loca- ** Preparing gas before delivery to pt
tion?
16. Regarding SPDD model, - Breathing circuit
where is the disposal loca-
tion? ** Prepared gas brought to pt
- Scavenging system
** How gas is removed from circuit
17. What is the PISS system? - Prevents connecting wrong gas cylinders to machine
18. What is the PISS setting -1
for air?
-5
