Flashcards

Anesthesia Machine Monitors

Anesthesia machines include monitors for vital signs like heart rate and oxygen saturation to improve patient safety.

Anesthesia Machine Components

An anesthesia machine includes components for gas mixing, humidification, and rhythmic pressure for lung inflation, but not a dialysis machine.

Humidifier Role

The humidifier in an anesthesia machine adds moisture to the gas mixture to prevent patient respiratory discomfort.

Lung Inflation Mechanism

The iron box with vacuum cleaners creates rhythmic negative pressure to inflate the lungs during anesthesia.

Study Notes

Anesthesia Machine

  • The anesthesia machine uses an iron box with two vacuum cleaners to create rhythmic negative pressure in the chest.
  • This negative pressure inflates the lungs with air during inspiration, mimicking natural breathing.
  • Expiration follows naturally.
  • Anesthesia machines typically include a ventilator, vaporizers, humidifiers, CO2 absorbers, and other functionalities.
  • Modern machines include patient safety features, such as monitors for heart rate, ECG, blood pressure, and oxygen saturation.

Gas Supply

  • The hospital central medical gas pipeline is the primary source for anesthesia gas machines.
  • Nitrous oxide is stored as a liquid in large tanks (745 psig - H tank).
  • These tanks are connected to a manifold that regulates pipeline pressure to approximately 50 psig.
  • Psig stands for pounds per square inch gauge.
  • Cylinders (type E, G, or H) can also supply gas.
  • Type E cylinders, commonly attached to the back of the anesthesia machine, contain 625 L of oxygen.
  • G cylinders hold 5,300 L when full.
  • H cylinders hold 6,900 L when full.

Cylinder Color

  • The World Health Organization designates white as the color for oxygen cylinders.
