| Term | Definition |
|---|
| DISS | diameter indexed safety system, uses differend thread pitches, to prevent connection of wrong tanks (won't fit0 |
| compressors | provide "oil free" compressed air to power equipment and also to 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 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 | Light blue |
| Cyclopropane tank, color | Orange |
| Helium tank, color | brown |
| carbon dioxide and oxygen tank, color | gray and green |
| Helium and oxygen tank, color | brown and green |
| 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 |
| Cylinder construction goverened by.. | 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 x FF / liter flow |
| BVM | Bag Valve Mask |
| What to you do to large tanks | subtract 500 |
| Total flow formula | Liter of Air (fiO2) / Liters of O2 ex..100-40 / 40-21 = 60 / 19 = 3:1 3+1 = 4 4 x number on mask (8) = 32 L/M total flow |
| Inspiratory | taking air in |
| "hungry" | patient needing air |
| One cubic foot of O2 = | 28.3 liters |
| types of concentrators (used mostly in Nursing homes) | Invacare Platinum 5 O2 concentrator, Invacare Venture Homefill O2 filling system and Puritan bennett Companion 492A |
| Other O2 systems | Portable reserviors, Malkinskrodt PB Helios Portable Liquid sytems, Portable O2 duration |
| regulators | combo of flowmeter and reducing valve, One piece |
| Uncompensated Thorpe Tube O2 flowmeter | mostly used for giving breathing treatments..operates only in upright position |
| Compensated Thorpe Tube O2 flowmeter | Has 50 PSI attachment operates in any postion |
| Typical range flowmeter | 0-15 L/M used for nebulizer |
| High range flowmeter | 5-75 L/M CPAP units |
| Low range flowmeter | 0-3 L/M for neonatal..won't power a nebulizer |
| Demand pulse flow O2 delivery devices | Patient has to make an effore, only delivers O2 on Inspiration, Poof of air, AKA CONSERVING DEVICE..paitent has test to see if they qualify follow them around the hospital, get a "walking saturation".no humidification |
| transtracheal systems DOC 2000 | also a demand system, battery operated, given on inspiration, 8-10 hrs running time on tank |
| O2 Blenders | devices that mex air and O2 to precise concentrations, provide a stable 50 psi source of mixed gas. ..Powering ventilators, Continious Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) |
| Devilbiss OMS 20 EX 2000D | another pulse O2 deliverer., senses the patients inspiration efforts and delivers a pulse of O2 during early inspiration., 0.25 -6 L/M |
| Grab n Go | Portable O2 system |
| Cleaving | adhere to, clings to |
