,-noncombustible/nonflammable solutions from back table or smothering technique
MINIMIZING SURGICAL FIRES:
What should you place in the pt's throat for procedures involving the mouth/face/airway and why?
What should you inflate the ET tube cuff with and why? - ✔✔-saline moistened lap, to assist with
decreasing/preventing O2 leaks from tube

Carbon dioxide
-no, they can trap the fire next to/under the pt, they can dislodge instruments, they can cause wound

SURGICAL FIRES:
What gases are present in the bowel?
How should you create an incision in the bowel or trachea?
What prevention technique should you use for surgeries near the rectum?
What should you use to administer supplemental O2 in pt's that need O2 greater than 30%?
,When is an environment considered oxygen rich? - ✔✔-methane, hydrogen
-with a scalpel rather than monopolar cautery
-cover or pack the rectum with a wet lap
-laryngeal mask airway or ET tube
-if the O2 concentration is greater than 21% by volume
MEDICAL GASES:
where/how should you store med gases in a facility?
store separately from?
what identifiers are present on med gas cylinders to determine their contents?(3) - ✔✔-indoors in a
secured access-controlled area with chain like devices to lock and in a holder/on a rack
-industrial gases

type of med gas

uninterrupted use for 1 day
-prescription
-1 hour
how would you describe a medical gas cylinder that is considered for immediate use? vs storage use?
What components make batteries considered hazardous waste if contained in them? (3)
if a product contain what chemical element?, it must be disposed of as hazardous waste. - ✔✔-
immediate: attached to a transport vehicle that has a pt on it or directly associated with a current
present pt
storage use: on a transport vehicle that is not directly associated w/ a pt and has been unoccupied for
30 mins or more
-cadmium, lead, silver
, -mercury
