Diagnostic:Detects, displays, and records physiologic data in order to confirm or rule out

a disorder or disease.

Therapeutic:Applies treatment in the form of energy or medication in order to treat a

disorder or disease.

Assistive:Used as an accessory to facilitate a medical or surgical procedure.

Power Connectors

plug: male connector, furthest away from power source

outlet or receptacle: female connector providing power

NFPA99 Chassis Leakage (touch) Current• 1999 edition • 2005 edition

the ground wire disconnected (if a ground wire is provided).

Pressure Conversions

Most useful conversions in bold

Manometers, two styles;Pressure measured as a column of mercury:

• closed end (contains vacuum)• measures atmospheric pressure• 760 mmHg ‘normal’• higher atmospheric pressure = higher number• (pressure in outer space vacuum would be 0 mmHg)

• open end (contains ambient air pressure)• measures applied pressure• 0 mmHg is ‘unpressurized’ state• higher applied pressure = higher number

Pacemaker Modes:

Asynchronous: provides pulses at a fixed rate

Demand (or ‘Synchronous’): provides pulses when the heart fails to beat

Rate-Modulated: provides pulses based on the heart’s current activity

Defibs for Cardioversion

•The use of a small energy pulse from a defibrillator to convert an non-lethal arrhythmia (eg atrial flutter) to a normal sinus rhythm

•Delivers a pulse about 30ms after the peak of the R-wave, synchronized by the defibrillator

•Modern units can discriminate the R-wave from the T-wave or noise spikes

Timing of cardioversion pulse

Do NOT cardiovert across the T-wave !

from Electrical Safety presentation (class 6) CORRECTED:(per NFPA-99, 2012 edition)

Resistance of Ground wire of power cord: 500 milliOhms (500mΩ or .5Ω)

Leakage current at the chassis: NC (normal condition) 100 microAmps (100 μA)SFC (Single Fault Condition, e.g. open ground) 500 microAmps (500 μA)

Leakage current for any one patient contact lead to ground: 10 μA with ground closed, 50 μA with ground open.

Leakage current for each patient contact lead to any other lead: 10 μA with ground closed, 50 μA with ground open.

Leakage current for patient leads exposed to line voltage: 50 μA

or “distributed capacitance”

Leakage current:

Leakage current is both capacitive, caused by intrinsiccapacitance between conductors; and resistive, causedby imperfect insulation.

Where does the leakage current go?

Open ground !

Where does the leakage current go now?

Test device measuringchassis leakage current:

“Applied Part” of medical equipmentas defined by the IEC standard 60601-1:

Type B: Applied parts that are generally not conductive and can be immediately released from the patient. May be grounded.

eg: Non-invasive BP monitors [think: Body]

Type BF: Devices that have direct contact with the patient, or parts that have long term contact with the patient.

eg: ECG monitors [think: Body, Floating (ground)]

Type CF: Applied parts that have direct contact with the heart.eg: Invasive pressure monitors, defib paddles

[think: Cardiac Floating (ground)]

ONE of these ratings should be present on a medical device

If ‘Defib Proof’, ONE of these

Troubleshooting invasive BP lines:

Damping in any oscillating system:

Damping is an effect on any oscillating system that reduces or restricts its oscillations. In a mechanical system, damping is produced by drag in the system. In a fluid system, damping is caused by viscosity. In an electronic system, damping is caused by impedance.

Undamped: The system oscillates at its natural resonant frequency.

Critically damped: When disturbed, the system returns to equilibrium quickly, without oscillation.

Overdamped: When disturbed, the system returns to equilibrium without oscillating.

Underdamped: When disturbed, the system oscillates, but the amplitude decreases to zero.

Quiz #3 recap

LR#1: Intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) is inserted into descending AORTA (output of LEFT heart)

#3: IABP is typically used for 1-2 days

#6: Capnography is measurement of CO2.

Measured by how much IR (infrared) light is absorbed by the gas sample.

Question #7:

Deep breath(or sigh)

normal breathing

exhaling as much as you can

this much air always stays in your lungs

note: TLC is often shown as 6 liters, which is normal for a 75 kg (165 #) person.80 ml per kg of body weight (as shown here) is more accurate.

Question #14: Flow-Volume Loop (time is shown as a counter-clockwise loop):

PEFR: Peak Expiratory Flow Rate:measures how fast a person can exhale (breathe out).PIFR: Peak Inspiratory Flow Rate FVC: Functional Vital Capacity (same as VC)

Respiratory Gasses • Inspired (inhaled) air: N2 79% O2 21%

• Expired (exhaled) air: N2 79% O2 16%CO2 5%

Blood Components

• Hemoglobin (hb without attached O2)

• Oxyhemoglobin (hb with attached O2)• Carboxyhemoglobin (hb with attached CO, Carbon Monoxide) gives inaccurate

SpO2

• Methemoglobin (pron: MET-hemoglobin) cannot bind to O2 and gives inaccurate SpO2

this ratio gives SpO2 in Pulse Oximetry
