Oxygenation
Objective: To ensure adequate oxygen concentration in the inspired gas and the blood during all anesthetics.
Definition
Methods:

Gas travels past an electron beam and the ions get stripped of an electron.

Potential Issues of Side Stream Capnography
Definition
Faster sampling rates decrease lag time and produce more reliable readings.
Low fresh gas flows can create a situation. If the sampling flow rate exceeds the airway gas flow the sample will be diluted by fresh gas flow.
Used to verify endotracheal tube placement.

More Basic Facts
Definition
ETCO2 ~ PACO2 ~ PaCO2
Term
Assumptions;
Definition
Ventilation and perfusion are appropriately matched
CO2 is easily diffusible across the capillary-alveolar membrane
No sampling error
Term
CO2
Definition
Arterial CO2 = 35 – 45 mmHg
End tidal CO2 normally 2-5 mmHg lower
The difference represents the normal V/Q mismatch.
V/P 0.8 Under anesthesia the ETCO2 – PaCO2 gradient is about 5-10 mmHg
V/Q disturbance can change this gap.
Sampling problems can also change the gap.
Term
Dead Space Ventilation
Definition
Anything that decreases lung perfusion will result in a widened gap.
Decreased cardiac output Decreased blood pressure
Embolic events Seated position
COPD Additions to the circuit
Term
Shunt
Definition
Perfusion without ventilation causes very little change in the arterial – end tidal CO2 gradient. You will need to look at the alveolar to arterial O2 gradient.
[fiO2 x (760-47)] – 40/.8 = alveolar oxygen arterial oxygen must be read from the ABG
Term
Increased dead space ventilation does not
Definition
respond well to increased oxygen administration.

Definition

Term
Lambert–Beer law
Definition

Oximetry depends on the observation that oxygenated and reduced hemoglobin differ in their absorption of red and infrared light


pecifically, oxyhemoglobin (HbO2) absorbs more infrared light (960 nm), whereas deoxyhemoglobin absorbs more red light (660 nm) and thus appears blue, or cyanotic, to the naked eye. The change in light absorption during arterial pulsations is the basis of oximetric determinations (Figure 6–22). The ratio of the absorptions at the red and infrared wavelengths is analyzed by a microprocessor to provide the oxygen saturation (SpO2) of arterial blood

Term
Because carboxyhemoglobin (COHb) and HbO2 absorb light at 660 nm identically,
Definition
pulse oximeters that compare only two wavelengths of light will register a falsely high reading in patients with carbon monoxide poisoning. Methemoglobin has the same absorption coefficient at both red and infrared wavelengths.
Term
methemoglobinemia causes a falsely
Definition
low saturation reading when SaO2 is actually greater than 85%
Term

Definition
if SaO2 is actually less than 85%
