show O2 and NO are bipolar and attracted to a magnetic field. -When O2 is added to analyzer, it effects the magnetic field, causing sphere to rotate. Light & mirror give off a color to scale of # of O2 molecules.  
🗑
Advantages of a Paramagnetic Analyzer   show
🗑
show -fragile and position dependent -must be on a flat surface to work properly -expensive -only for intermittent testing / not continuous  
🗑
show -uses a wheat stone bridge(simple circuit)  
🗑
show -other gases may affect cooling effects -can NOT be used in a flammable environment -not as accurate  
🗑
How a Polarographic Analyzer Works (electro-chemical analyzer)   show
🗑
Advantages of a Polarographic Analyzer   show
🗑
Disadvantages of a Polarographic Analyzer   show
🗑
show -No battery (same cathode / anodes concept as the polarographic) -uses Pb instead of Ag -KOH electrolytic solution -Slower reaction time  
🗑
Galvanic Cell Analyzer Advantages   show
🗑
Galvanic Cell Analyzer Disadvantages   show
🗑
show -measures % volume of a sample gas -all 02 absorbed from sample  
🗑
show -Very expensive -Not typically used at a bed side -Used in laboratories  
🗑
How a spectrophotometer Analyzer Works   show
🗑
Advantages & Disadvantages of a Spectrophotometer Analyzer   show
🗑
Pulse Oximetry   show
🗑
show - used in infants, newborns, wound care -non invasive. electrode placed on skin with conductor gel -O2 diffuses from skin into electrode & is analyzed -uses cathode & anode -CAN also analyze CO2! -has to be moved every 2-3 hrs to prevent burns  
🗑
Capnography: CO2 levels   show
🗑
show Any complication associated with health care provider services  
🗑
Nosocomial Infection   show
🗑
show Body surface to body surface transfer between host and infected person. Ex: mucus to mucus, or skin contact  
🗑

🗑
3 elements that must be present for infection to spread   show
🗑
show Removal of foreign material. Wash with soap / detergent enzymatic products and hot water.  
🗑
show Killing vegetative forms of organisms, but NOT spores. -Pasteurization is the most common physical method  
🗑
show Eliminating ALL forms of microbial life (destroys ALL microorganisms) including spores --Steam sterilization is the most common & easiest  
🗑
show Nebulizers, Ventilator Circuits, bag-valve-mask devices and suction equipment. -O2 therapy and pulmonary function equipment are also implicated as potential sources of nosocomial infections  
🗑
show -Moist heat to coagulate all cell proteins (72C for 5 min, and 63C for 30 min) -Kills all vegetative bacteria and some viruses (HIV) -Dried and packaged after process  
🗑
show -Kills vegetative bacteria, fungi, viruses -spores are NOT killed -NOT RECOMMENDED FOR RC EQUIPMENT -100 C for 5 minutes -Dry and packaged after process  
🗑
Describe Steam Autoclave   show
🗑
Define Holding Time   show
🗑
show Deterioration of materials Ex: can't use with rubber, plastics, solutions, sharp instruments  
🗑
Use of Ethylene Oxide   show
🗑
Use of Glutaraldehyde   show
🗑
show -can kill bacteria and viruses , NOT spores -need several minutes of exposure and needs to air dry -Ethyl & isopropyl alcohol are the most common -Works by destroying cell membranes -Useful on the skin as an antiseptic / disinfectant (2%)  
🗑
Use of Iodines   show
🗑
show -use of gamma and x rays -very effective and rapid -but very expensive -long shelf life  
🗑
