Anesthesia Math & Physics
|
1% = 10 mg/ml |
|
1/100,000 = 10 mcg/ml |
|
1.36 mmHg = 10 cm H2O |
|
1 atm = 760 torr = 14.7 psi (at sea level) |
|
1 M = 22.4 L gas |
|
time constant = capacity/flow |
|
compliance = v/p |
|
tension = Pr/wall thickness |
Tank facts:
|
E cylinder ~4.5L |
|
H cylinder ~40L |
|
CO2 and N2O are vapors |
|
(i.e., gas on top of liquid in the tank) |
|
all others are just gas |
Fluid requirements:
|
· maintenance (4+2+1 rule) |
|
· replace NPO losses 50% first hour, 25% 2nd/3rd hours |
|
· fluid loss from open wound(s) 3-15cc/kg/hr |
Copper Kettle:
|
1% = x(gas) + 100(cc O2)/100x(FGF) where x=50 for iso/halo |
|
33 for sevo/enf, 90 for des |
|
FGF = total fresh gas flow |
