If you stay you will learn how and why the following are true Suction can fail 11 different ways There are many ways a vaporizer can fail O-rings cause many failures New Tec7 vaporizer needs special filler adapter and must be pressed to fill Checkout includes Ventilator Checkout includes “Admit Patient” to reset alarms Use an HME to keep the circuit dry and ventilator and gas sampling working Gas Sample Filters are cracking. Save all that crack to be sent to Manufacturer Free-hosing with Forced Hot Air (e.g., Bair Hugger) is dangerous - don’t do it Draeger Fabius moos and can have negative (sucking) leaks A shorter checkout is possible - Should we post it? Should we do it? ECG Filter must not be set to Maximum if want to monitor S-T, T waves Problem Solving - Clinical vs Technical; Treat signs; Find & Treat Root Cause

Biomed Intro

Failed Suction Patient is a 29 yo F receiving general anesthesia for elective gynecologic surgery. Immediately after loss of consciousness, the patient vomits You place the Yankauer Suction in patient’s mouth and occlude the vent hole But, nothing happens What is going on?

Suction can fail in many ways DISS (Diameter Index Safety System) Connector Unscrewed at Wall

Suction can fail in many ways DISS (Diameter Index Safety System) Connector Unscrewed at Wall Vacuum Switched Off at DISS Connector

Canister problem Hose disconnect from canister Canister switched off Insert seated incorrectly Any port or hole open Hose disconnect from holder Tubing disconnect from canister Flap valve closed Canister Tilted Canister Full Hose kinked

Suction Solution Test Function Before Case During Case

New Vaporizers have New Failure Modes

Tec7 Vaporizer by Datex-Ohmeda Differences from previous White, not black Still Agent-specific for: Halothane, Enflurane, Isoflurane, Sevoflurane Wider flow range = .2 L - 15 LPM Non-spill system limits movement of liquid if tilted or inverted No periodic service required ( Tec 4 = 1 yr, Tec 5 = 3 yr, Tec 7 no) Easy-fil™ System 50% faster fill than previous (Tec 3,4,5) Low-leak fill Intuitive alignment (they say) Soldered sump and seal (not O-rings)

Press to overcome spring Easy Fil™ No Spill Press to overcome spring Auto Fill ? No

Which is filling as we watch? Desflurane Tec6 Semi-Automatic Fill (no patent pending)

Why no O-rings? O-rings fail Space Shuttle Forreger Anesthesia Machines O-Rings sealed a three-vaporizer turret Failed during drug administration Simultaneous delivery of multiple overdoses Last product Forreger ever made Desflurane bottle fill

The O Ring belongs here

The O-Ring is missing

This is filling with no O-ring

When you change a vaporizer

When you change a vaporizer You are expected to do a Negative Pressure Leak Test [See FDA Pre-Use Check Card attached to every Anesthesia Machine]

Negative Pressure Leak Test

Negative Pressure Bulb is in Drawer If not, Page your Anes Tech Negative Pressure Bulb is in Drawer

Condensed water vapor Makes Ventilators fail Makes Gas Monitors fail Use a Heat and Moisture Exchanger

Wet dome valve - Ohmeda Mod 2

Wet dome valve - Aestiva

Fabius flow sensor gets wet, too

Wet ET tube, dry circuit

Datex-Ohmeda Edith® is BWH present HME product

Gas Line Filters sometimes crack Save them if they do crack Page Anes Technician who will bring it to ORCSS Materials Management” to return to Manufacturer For analysis

Forced Hot Air warming Use a Blanket Do not use hose without Blanket FDA, ECRI, Manufacturers are appropriately concerned Blanket costs around $10.00 This is not the right place to save money

Fabius idiosynchrocies Moos like Cow Temporary problem which will be solved If reservoir bag is empty or has a leak Air will be drawn into breathing circuit during mechanical ventilation

Anesthesia Machine Checkout Important Will pick up many problems Common root cause of mishap is: Failure to Pre-Check Equipment

Check Ventilator Function as part of Check Out Ventilate reservoir bag Observe no volume loss Added recently to our list

Admit “New Patient” or re-boot Monitor and Ventilator Returns alarms and configuration to Site-Standard Settings (BWH) Failure to do this has led to several reported “events” Added recently to our list

Placard on every Anes Machine Should we also post abbreviated checkout?

Abbreviated Machine Check Out Calibrate Oxygen Monitor Check Machine for gas delivery Check Circuit for integrity Check Ventilator for function Check Exhaust for function

ECG Monitor filter must not be set to Maximum Monitor offers several bandwidth options All faithfully convey ST and T waves except Maximum Filter This keeps wave on screen but Distorts S-T segment and T waves ST and T are “low frequency” “Maximum” filter removes (ruins) these Bandwidth Definitions Diagnostic = .05 - 120 Hz Monitoring = .05 - 40 Hz Moderate = .05 - 25 Hz Maximum = .5 - 25 Hz - the only really bad one

Troubleshooting a “Clinical” Problem Phase 1 – Patient or Equipment Problem ? This differentiation is crucial Starting on the wrong track is a bad start Phase 2 – Treat Signs and seek Root Cause Phase 3 – Treat or correct Root Cause

Thank you

Requests from Anes Dept Negative Pressure tester in each room Techs do the negative pressure test when they change Vap Techs do circuit pressure test when they connect circuit Aquanaut in OR where used - likely Anes Machine Drawer 5% Sevo alarm default on RGM - Increase it if possible
