MEDICAL GASES
4.
Medical –Gas measurement
Thefollowing formulae enable conversions between these units
:
•
1
atm = 760 mm Hg (torr)
•
1
mmHg = 1 torr
•
cm H2O × 0.7355 = mm Hg (torr)
•
mm Hg (torr) ÷ 0.7355 = cm H2O
•
cm H2O × 0.098 = kPa
•
kPa ÷ 0.098 = cm H2O
•
mm Hg × 0.1333 = kPa
•
kPa ÷ 0.1333 = mm Hg
•
mm Hg ÷ 760 = atm
•
atm × 14.7 = lb/in2 (psi)
5.
Medical –Gas Storage
•After deciding the medical-gas services to be provided at
the facility,
• The engineer should determine the storage capacity and
the pipe sizing required and possible locations for the
source.
6.
Oxygen (O2)
• Severalfactors must be known when estimating the
monthly consumption of oxygen in new or existing
healthcare facilities:
1.Type of medical care provided.
2. oxygen outlets or
3. Numberof patient beds.
4. Future expansion of facility.
5. In existing facilities, approximateconsumption.
7.
• Fractional Distillation
•Physical Separation
• Nitrogen Molecular sieve
• Semi-Permeable membrane
How Oxygen is produced
Properties of CommonGases
• Chemical symbol
• Molecular weight
• Color, odor, taste
• Physical state
• Critical temperature, boiling point
• Combustion characteristics
16.
Oxygen uses inRespiratory Care:
◇ diagnostic and therapeutic purposes :
> Diagnostically :
it is used as a source gas to calibrate
respiratory care monitoring equipment
> Therapeutic :
used in concentrations greater than ambient
air to treat and/or prevent the manifestations or
symptoms of hypoxia.
25.
Compressed Air
• Isthe same mixture of nitrogen, oxygen, carbon dioxide
and argon.
• Is piped in to all modern hospitals
• Used to power pneumatically powered equipment
• Some situations (patients are C02 retainers) when oxygen
is contraindicated
26.
Cyclopropane
• Strictly ananesthesia gas
• Cyclopropane is explosive , colourless gas used in medicine
since 1934 as a general anesthetic. Cyclopropane is
nonirritating to mucous membranes and does not depress
respiration. Induction of and emergence from cyclopropane
anesthesia are usually rapid and smooth.
27.
Ethylene Oxide
• •Used to gas sterilize medical equipment
• •Useful for equipment that can’t handle high
temperatures or immersion in water
Large Oxygen SupplySystem
• To stay in liquid form,
O2 is stored in large
stand tanks at
relatively low pressure
(<250 psig)
33.
Small Bank ofCylinders
• It is used to supply O2
from a central location
in small facilities or to
supply specialty gases,
such as N2O, to
operating rooms
Liquid vs Gas
•Insulated – Liquid
• Solid metal – Gas
• Large continuous demand – Liquid
• Small portable – Liquid or tank
• Tanks act differently if they contain gas or liquid
• No accurate gauge on liquid tank content
Liquid Oxygen
• Constantlylosing oxygen despite insulation
• Needs pressure and insulation for cold temperature (-118oC)
• Low pressure (200 psi)
• Large system has vaporizers fins to help with heat transfer
when liquid turns to gas (frozen year round)
• Small system is great
What Is CentralMedical Gas Distribution System
?
• Medical Gas Distribution System is a central
supply system tosupply a medical gas (O2, N2O,
N2), medical air, and medical vacuum to each
ward of hospital safely and convenientlythrough
a central supply piping from medical gas supply
sources.
• The system has a thoroughgoing color
coordination according to the kind of gas.
45.
Continuous system
• Isdesigned so that there is a main supply
reservoir that is refilled.
• The Continuous system has one supply that
provides gas to the
piping system.
• The Alternatingsystem employs
two sources to provide gas to the
piping system
Alternating system
48.
Advantages Of CentralizedMedical Gas
Delivery System
• No distressing sign of oxygen cylinder at bed side.
• Elimination of noise produced be their movement.
• Protection of sterile areas from contamination caused by use
and movement of cylinder.
• Uninterrupted and clean gas supply at each workstation.
• Safe And Relief System.
1. • Effective use of space. Additionally, it is economically
advantageous and hygienic.
The components shouldbe in accordance with the 15 7396, as quality of these components are
very vital in ensuring that oxygen pipeline system is able to meet the expectations
Sources
• Sources aresupplies that produce the flow of medical
gases through piping networks. The four main sources
for medical gases are:
1.Bulky Systems.
2.Manifold Systems.
3.Medical Air Treatment.
4.Systems Vacuum Pumps
54.
Bulky Systems
1. •It consists of special insulated
vessels, vaporizers, and regulators
2. • Oxygen, nitrous oxide and carbon
dioxide are supplied to large hospitals
in cryogenic tanks
55.
Manifold Systems
1. •It consists of high-pressure
cylinders on 2 banks, one is
back up to other.
2. • The main control panel is
installed for primary and
secondary regulators,pressure
regulators and warning lamps.
56.
Medical Air TreatmentSystems
1. • These are 2 or more
compressors equipped with
a receiver, derivers,
regulators, filters, dew point
monitors, and carbon
dioxide alarms.
57.
Vacuum Pumps
1. •Vacuum pumps are mechanized devices
that create a negative pressurein the piping
system
2. • A reservoir tank is used for storage to
permit cycling on and off
58.
Warning and AlarmingSystems
•The 2 main alarm systems are
1. Master alarm
2. Area alarm
59.
• Master alarmmonitors
the main gas lines and
sources conditions
Master alarm
60.
Area alarms
• Areaalarms are found on
alarm panels and their
function is to monitor the
condition of specific
critical care area
61.
Outlets and Inlets
•The final delivery points are color
coded,incorporating either the
diameter index safety system or
are of the quick connect type
available in two varieties:
• Diamond
• Chemetron

Piped Distribution System
•Main lines pipe connecting the source to riser
or branches lines or both
• Risers vertical pipe line connecting the main
lines with branch lines at various levels
