This document discusses vaporizers, which are devices used to convert liquid anesthetic agents into vapor for delivery to patients. It covers the basic principles of vaporization, factors that affect vaporizer output concentration, different types of vaporizers classified by their design and operating characteristics, and standards for vaporizer design. The key points are that vaporizers precisely regulate anesthetic vapor concentrations, multiple factors influence output, and designs vary in things like temperature compensation, agent specificity, and positioning within the breathing circuit.

3. Why we need a vaporizer? Most volatile agents exist as liquid at room temp & atm pressureVaporizers convert this liquid form to vapor phase And add a certain amount of this vapor to the anesthesia circuit...In precisely determined concentrations over a wide range of temperatures, pressures and carrier gas flowrates.

4. Who is inside the vaporizer?Let me introduce..I am a gasBelow a certain temp,I am very flexible ; then I will exist in a form which is interconvertable between the liquid and gaseous states- this gaseous form is known as vapor.But above this temp, I am very rigid ; you cannot change me into a liquid now..yes now I am a perfect gasAnd I wont tell u the name of that temperature!

5. SO VAPOR IS THE GASEOUS PHASE OF A SUBSTANCE BELOW ITS CRITICAL TEMPERATURELove’ [van der Waals forces] promotes the liquid state, whereas ‘hatred’ [ Kinetic energy] promotes vapor phase

6. Vapor PressureThis vapor exerts a pressure on its surroundings- VAPOR PRESSUREV.P.depends only on the liquid and temperature

8. Saturated Vapor PressureNow we close the container;the escaping ‘vapor molecules’ now may collide with the liquid surface and reenter it..an equilibrium formsNo of molecules reentering = no of molecules leavingSATURATED VAPOR PRESSUREis the partial pressure of the vapor phase of a substance when at equilibrium with its liquid phase (e.g. in a closed container). Increases rapidly as boiling point approaches.

10. Boiling PointYou go on increasing the temperatureThe V.P. will increaseAt a point it equals the atm pressureB.P.OF A LIQUID IS THE TEMPERATURE AT WHICH ITS VAPOR PRESSURE IS EQUAL TO THE ATM PRESSURELow atm pressure -> Low B.P.High SVP -> Low B.P.[..means I am very volatile]

11. PARTIAL PRESSUREA MIXTURE OF GASES IN A CLOSED CONTAINER WILL EXERT A PRESSURE ON THE WALLS OF THE CONTAINER. THE PART OF THE PRESSURE EXERTED BY ANY ONE GAS IN THE MIXTURE IS CALLED ITS PARTIAL PRESSUREDEPENDS ONLY ON THE TEMPERATURETHE HIGHEST PARTIAL PRESSURE THAT CAN BE EXERTED BY A GAS AT A GIVEN TEMPERATURE IS ITS VAPOR PRESSURE. IT IS AN ABSOLUTE VALUE.

12. VOLUMES PERCENTNO OF UNITS OF VOLUME OF A GAS IN RELATION TO A TOTAL OF 100 UNITS OF VOLUME FOR THE TOTAL GAS MIXTURE. IT EXPRESSES THE RELATIVE RATIO OF GAS MOLECULES IN A MIXTURE.MOST COMMONLY USEDBUT UPTAKE & DEPTH OF ANESTHESIA ARE DIRECTLY RELATED TO PARTIAL PRESSURES PARTIAL PRESSURE/TOTAL PRESSURE= VOLUMES PERCENT/100

13. HEAT OF VAPORIZATIONTHE NUMBER OF CALORIES REQUIRED TO CONVERT 1GM OF LIQUID INTO A VAPOR OR NUMBER OF CALORIES REQUIRED TO CONVERT 1 ML OF LIQUID INTO A VAPORIN A VAPORIZER, AS THE LIQUID AGENT VAPORIZES,HEAT IS LOST;SO TEMPERATURE DROPS,VAPOR PRESSURE DROPS = LESSER VOL. AGENT FOR THE CARRIER GAS TO TAKE AWAY↓OUTPUTOh…tell me some method to supply heat! Else my patient will wake up @#%?

14. SPECIFIC HEATTHE QUANTITY OF HEAT REQUIRED TO RAISE THE TEMP OF 1gm OF THE SUBSTANCE BY 1⁰CIF ITS LOW, THE TEMPERATURE WILL NOT RISE GRADUALLY WHEN WE SUPPLY HEAT TO A VOLATILE AGENT IN ORDER TO REPLACE THAT LOST DUE TO VAPORIZATIONIF ITS HIGH...NICE GUY..VERY OBEDIENT!IS THIS IMPORTANT IN ANY OTHER ASPECT?MATERIAL FROM WHICH VAPORIZER CONSTRUCTED

15. THERMAL CAPACITYAMOUNT OF HEAT STORED IN THE VAPORISER BODY. IT IS THE PRODUCT OF SPECIFIC HEAT AND MASS. A VAPORIZER CONSTRUCTED FROM A SUBSTANCE WITH HIGH THERMAL CAPACITY WILL CHANGE TEMP MORE SLOWLY AND SO IS PREFFERED

16. THERMAL CONDUCTIVITYSPEED WITH WHICH HEAT FLOWS THROUGH A SUBSTANCE; CU > AL > BRASS > STEEL >> GLASS.HIGHER THE THERMAL CONDUCTIVITY, BETTER THE SUBSTANCE CONDUCTS HEAT.

17. THERMOSTABILIZATIONIS ACHIEVED BY CONSTRUCTING VAPORIZERS OF METALS WITH HIGH THERMAL CONDUCTIVITY (COPPER, BRONZE) TO MINIMIZE TEMPERATURE CHANGES WHEN THE VAPORIZER IS IN USEWICKS SHOULD BE IN CONTACT WITH THE METAL PART

18. GAS LAWSBOYLES LAW:AT CONSTANT TEMPERATURE, THE VOLUME OF A GIVEN MASS OF GAS VARIES INVERSELY WITH THE ABSOLUTE PRESSURECHARLE’S LAW: AT CONSTANT PRESSURE, THE VOLUME OF A GIVEN MASS OF GAS VARIES DIRECTLY WITH THE ABSOLUTE TEMPERATUREAT CONSTANT VOLUME, THE ABSOLUTE PRESSURE OF A GIVEN MASS OF GAS VARIES DIRECTLY WITH THE ABSOLUTE TEMPERATURE

19. DALTON’S LAW OF PARTIAL PRESSURESIN A MIXTURE OF GASES THE PRESSURE EXERTED BY EACH GAS IS THE SAME AS THAT WHICH IT WOULD EXERT IF IT ALONE OCCUPIED THE CONTAINER

20. AVOGADRO’S HYPOTHESISEQUAL VOLUMES OF GASES AT THE SAME TEMPERATURE AND PRESSURE CONTAIN EQUAL NUMBER OF MOLECULESTHIS NO IS 6.023 X 10²³THIS MUCH NO OF PARTICLES OF ANY GAS AT STP WILL OCCUPY 22.4 Ls

21. EXAMPLE : CALIBRATIONMOLECULAR WT OF ISOFLURANE 184.5 CONTAIN AVOGADRO NO OF PARTICLES; WILL OCCUPY 22.4 Ls @ STPSUPPOSE O₂VAPORIZES 18.45 GM OF ISOFLURANE INTO 224 L=0.1 MOLE = WILL OCCUPY 2.24LsBUT THIS IS VAPORIZED INTO 224 LsSO CONCENTRATION OF ISOFLURANE = 2.24/224 = 1%

30. BASIC DESIGN

31. METHOD OF REGULATING OUTPUT CONCENTRATION

32. CONCENTRATION CALIBRATEDTOTAL FLOW FROM THE MACHINE PASSES THROUGH THE VAPORIZER. THIS IS SPLIT BY A VARIABLE RESISTANCE PROPORTIONATING VALVE INTO TWO:ONE PART[USUALLY MAJOR] FLOWS THROUGH THE BYPASS CHAMBER & THE OTHER [USUALLY SMALL] THROUGH THE VAPORIZING CHAMBER.

33. CONCENTRATION CALIBRATEDAGENT CONCENTRATION IS CONTROLLED BY A DIAL CALIBRATED IN VOLUMES PERCENTVOLUME VAPOURISED - TYPICALLY 200 ML VAPOUR PER ML OF LIQUID ANAESTHETICML LIQUID USED/HOUR = 3 X % X FGF

34. IF WE DIAL A HIGH CONCENTRATION

35. IF WE DIAL A LOW CONCENTRATION

36. SPLITTING RATIOTHE RATIO OF THE BYPASS GAS TO THE GAS GOING TO THE VAPORIZING CHAMBER IS CALLED THE SPLITTING RATIO. SPLITTING RATIO DEPENDS ON: THE RESISTANCE OF THE TWO PATHWAYS, WHICH INTURN DEPENDS ON THE VARIABLE ORIFICE OF THE INLET/OUTLET.TEMPERATURE OF THE LIQUID /CARRIER GAS.FLOW RATE OF GASESDENSITY OF THE PARTICULAR GAS ENTERING VAP CHAMBER. MOSTLY CARRIER GAS IS O₂

37. MEASURED FLOW VAPORIZERSTHE VAPORIZER HEATS THE ANESTHETIC AGENT TO A TEMPERATURE ABOVE ITS BOILING POINT( SO IT BEHAVES AS GAS ) AND THIS IS THEN METERED INTO THE FRESH GAS FLOW. A MEASURED FLOW IS SENT BY A SEPARATE OXYGEN FLOW METER TO PASS TO THE VAPORIZER WITH THE OUTPUT BEING AT SVP FOR THE ANESTHETIC AGENT. IN ORDER TO DILUTE THIS OTHERWISE LETHAL CONCENTRATION, OUTPUT FROM THAT FLOWMETER IS COMBINED WITH GAS PASSING FROM THE MAIN FLOWMETER e.g. COPPER KETTLE, VERNI-TRIOL

38. MEASURED FLOW VAPORIZERSOPERATOR HAS TO SET THE FLOW TO THE VAPORIZER AND BYPASS WITHSEPARATE FLOWMETERS THIS MEANS THAT RESPECTIVE FLOWS HAVE TO BE CALCULATED FOR EACH AGENT FOR A GIVENTEMPERATURE AND VAPOUR OUTPUT.

39. VAPORIZATION METHODS

40. FLOW OVERHERE THE CARRIER GAS PASSES OVER THE SURFACE OF A LIQUID.SURFACE AREA OF VAPORISATION CAN BE INCREASED BY USING WICKS.

41. FLOW OVER

42. FLOW OVERDUE TO CAPILLARY ACTION, THE ANAESTHETIC AGENT RISES INTO THE WICKS. THIS DRAMATICALLY INCREASES THE SURFACE AREA OF ANAESTHETIC AGENT EXPOSED TO THE FRESH GAS AND THEREBY IMPROVES THE EFFICIENCY OF VAPORISATION.CARRIER GAS CAN BE DIRECTED USING BAFFLES OR SPIRAL TRACKS THAT LENGTHEN THE GAS PATHWAYS OVER THE LIQUID.THIS INCREASES THE TIME AND AREA OF CONTACT.

43. FLOW OVER

44. BUBBLE THROUGHCARRIER GAS IS ALLOWED TO BUBBLE THROUGH THE LIQUID. SMALLER THE BUBBLE ,LARGER WILL BE THE SURFACE AREA. METHODS TO BREAK THE GAS INTO SMALL BUBBLES ARE AGITATION & SPLASHING.FACTORS INFLUENCING THE VAPORIZER OUTPUT : SIZE OF THE BUBBLE, DEPTH OF LIQUID, BUBBLING SPEED

45. INJECTION VAPORIZERSA KNOWN AMOUNT OF LIQUID AGENT OR PURE VAPOUR IS INJECTED INTO THE GAS STREAM TO PROVIDE THE DESIRED CONCENTRATIONE.G. TEC 6 DESFLURANE VAPORIZER

46. TEMPERATURE COMPENSATIONTO MAINTAIN A CONSTANT O/P FROM THE VAPORIZER, MECHANISMS TO COMPENSATE FOR THE FLUCTUATIONS IN TEMPERATURE ARE TO BE EMPLOYED

47. TEMPERATURE COMPENSATION

48. THERMOCOMPENSATIONMOST VARIABLE BYPASS VAPORIZERS COMPENSATE FOR CHANGES IN VAPOR PRESSURE BY ALTERING THE SPLITTING RATIO.DONE BY USING A THERMOSENSITIVE ELEMENT [BIMETALLIC STRIP] INCORPORATED IN THE VAPORIZING CHAMBER OR BYPASS CHAMBER.SO, THE SPLITTING OF GAS IS CONTROLLED BY TWO VALVES: (1)THE DIAL WE SET (SPLITTING VALVE) AND (2)THE TEMPERATURE COMPENSATING VALVE

49. THERMOCOMPENSATIONIN A BIMETALLIC STRIP, TWO METALS WITH VERY DIFFERENT COEFFICIENTS OF THERMAL EXPANSION ARE FIXED TOGETHER.

50. THERMOCOMPENSATIONWHEN THE TEMPERATURE OF THE VAPORISING CHAMBER DROPS, THE BIMETALLIC STRIP BENDS AND MOVES AWAY. THIS REDUCES THE RESISTANCE TO FLOW AND THUS MORE FLOW OCCURS INTO THE VAPORISING CHAMBER.

51. SUPPLIED HEATAN ELECTRIC HEATER CAN BE USED TO SUPPLY HEAT TO A VAPORIZER AND MAINTAIN IT AT A CONSTANT TEMPERATURE.E.G.TEC 6

52. RESISTANCE

53. PLENUM [Latin= fullness]VAPORIZERS WITH HIGH RESISTANCE WHICH DEPEND ON COMPRESSED GAS DRIVEN UNDER PRESSURE ARE CALLED PLENUM VAPORIZERS.e.g. BOYLE BOTTLE,COPPER KETTLE

54. DRAW OVERCARRIER GAS IS DRAWN THROUGH THE VAPORISER EITHER BY THE PATIENT’S OWN RESPIRATORY EFFORTS, OR BY A SELF-INFLATING BAG OR MANUAL BELLOWSDRAWOVER SYSTEMS OPERATE AT LESS THAN, OR AT AMBIENT PRESSUREFLOW THROUGH THE SYSTEM IS INTERMITTENT, VARYING WITH DIFFERENT PHASES OF INSPIRATION, AND CEASING IN EXPIRATION. A ONE-WAY VALVE PREVENTS REVERSE FLOW IN THE CIRCUIT. E.G. EMO

55. DRAW OVERHAVE A LOW INTERNAL RESISTANCE TO GAS FLOW SO THAT THEY MAY BE USED WITHIN THE BREATHING CIRCUIT, THE GAS FLOW BEING DRIVEN THROUGH THEM BY THE PATIENT'S BREATHING. THEY MAY BE USED IN A NON-REBREATHING DRAW-OVER APPARATUS, OR AS IN-CIRCUIT VAPORIZERS IN A CIRCLE ABSORBER SYSTEM. ARE USUALLY OF THE SIMPLE BOTTLE OR BOWL TYPE (E.G. THE OHIO 8 BOTTLE, GOLDMAN OR STEPHENS), BUT MORE ACCURATE, LOW RESISTANCE DRAW-OVER VAPORIZERS, SUCH AS THE PENLON OXFORD MINIATURE VAPORIZER (OMV) AND OHMEDA DRAW-OVER TEC VAPORIZERS, HAVE BEEN MANUFACTURED.

56. FACTORS AFFECTING VAPORIZER OUTPUT1. FLOW THROUGH THE VAPORIZING CHAMBER: Varying the proportion of gas passing through the vaporizing chamber and bypass chamber2.SURFACE AREA OF THE LIQUID GAS INTERFACE: Greater the surface area, more will be the vaporization. Bubble through > flow over

57. FACTORS AFFECTING VAPORIZER OUTPUT3.TEMPERATURE: As temperature increase, output increase4.TIME: Output concentration tend to fall over time

58. FACTORS AFFECTING VAPORIZER OUTPUT5.GAS FLOW RATE: (A)At high flowrates,the gas leaving vaporization chamber is less saturated (B)Alters the total flow that passes through the vaporization chamber

59. FACTORS AFFECTING VAPORIZER OUTPUT6. CARRIER GAS COMPOSITION: (a) changes in viscosity & density may affect the proportion of the total flow passing through the vaporization chamber (b)N₂O dissolves in the flow, thus altering the effective volume passing through the vaporization chamber

60. FACTORS AFFECTING VAPORIZER OUTPUT7.BOILING POINT :HIGHER THE BOILING POINT,LESS WILL BE THE VAPOUR O/P.8. AMBIENT PRESSURE : SVP IS SOLELY A FUNCTION OF TEMP. SO IF AMBIENT PRESSURE IS REDUCED,THE CONSTANT SVP BECOMES A GREATER PROPORTION OF THE TOTAL PRESSURE OUTPUT INCREASES.AGENTS WITH LOW BOILING POINTS ARE MORE SUSCEPTIBLE TO THE INFLUENCE OF AMBIENT PRESSURE

61. EFFECT OF LOW ATMOSPHERIC PRESSURE

62. CONCENTRATION CALIBRATEDHIGH RESISTANCE PATHWAY THROUGH THE VAPORISING CHAMBER OFFERS LESS RESISTANCE, UNDER HYPOBARIC CONDITIONS AND SO A SLIGHT INCREASE IN VAPOR O/P OCCURS.

63. MEASURED FLOWHERE THE DELIVERED PARTIAL PRESSURE & VOLUME PERCENT INCREASES.AMOUNT OF INCREASE DEPENDS ON THE BAROMETRIC PRESSURE & THE VAPOR PRESSURE OF THE AGENT.CLOSER THE VAPOR PRESSURE IS TO BAROMETRIC PRESSURE, GREATER THE EFFECT.

64. EFFECT OF HIGH ATMOSPHERIC PRESSURE

65. CONCENTRATION CALIBRATEDATM PRESSURE INCREASESDENSITY OF GAS CHANGESMORE RESISTANCE TO FLOW OF GAS THROUGH THE VAPORIZING CHAMBERDECREASED VAPOUR O/P (PARTIAL PRESSURE & VOLUME PERCENT) EFFECT ON PARTIAL PRESSURE IS LESS DRAMATIC

66. MEASURED FLOWLOWER CONCENTRATION IN TERMS OF PP/VOLUME PERCENT

67. EFFECT OF INTERMITTENT BACK PRESSURE

68. EFFECT OF INTERMITTENT BACK PRESSUREWHEN ASSISTED OR CONTROLLED VENTILATION IS USED ,THE POSITIVE PRESSURE GENERATED DURING INSPIRATION IS TRANSMITTED FROM THE BREATHING SYSTEM BACK TO THE MACHINE & SOME WAY MAY BE TRANSMITTED TO THE VAPORIZERS.ALSO SEEN WITH THE USE OF OXYGEN FLUSH2 EFFECTS ARE SEEN:

69. PUMPING EFFECTTHE INCREASE IN VAPORIZER OUTPUT CONCENTRATION DUE TO BACK PRESSURE

70. PUMPING EFFECTWhen the bag is squeezed ,pressure is transmitted back into both, the "by pass" channel and also to the vaporising chamber. The fresh gas tries to move forward and gets compressed both in the 'by pass' channel and the vaporising chamber. However, the vaporising chamber volume is much larger than the 'by pass' channel volume, and thus, more fresh gas gets compressed into it than into the 'by pass' channel.

71. PUMPING EFFECT This extra fresh gas that enters the vaporising chamber collects anaesthetic vapor

72. PUMPING EFFECTwhen the positive pressure is suddenly released (expiration) the previously compressed gases now suddenly expands in all directions. Some of the rapidly expanding gas (containing vapor) enter the inlet of the vaporiser and cross over into the 'by pass' channel

73. PUMPING EFFECTNormally, a vaporiser 'by pass' channel does not have vapor. So this vapor due the 'pumping effect' is additional. When this 'by pass' vapor flows across to the exit, it meets the vapor from the vaporising chamber. The addition of the 'by pass' vapor to the vapor from the vaporising chamber raises the final concentration of anaesthetic delivered. i.e. The 'pumping effect' increases the delivered concentration of anaesthetic agent.

74. PUMPING EFFECTSEEN ESPECIALLY WHENCARRIER GAS IS LOWAGENT IN VAPORIZING CHAMBER IS LOWDIAL SETTING IS LOWPRESSURE FLUCTUATIONS ARE HIGH & FREQUENT.

75. PUMPING EFFECTMECHANISM IN MEASURED FLOW:GAS FLOW TO THESE VAPORIZERS BECOME SATURATED WITH VAPOUR & IS JOINED BY GAS FROM OTHER FLOWMETER,WHICH DILUTES ITS CONCENTRATION.WHEN BACK PRESSURE IS APPLIED,THERE IS RETROGRADE FLOW OF GAS SO THAT THE DILUTED GAS MIXTURE IS FORCED BACK INTO THE VAPORIZER.BECAUSE THIS GAS IS NOT SATURATED ,IT WILL THEN PICK UP ANESTHETIC VAPOUR.THE RESULT IS AN INCREASE IN O/P.

76. MODIFICATIONS TO MINIMISE PUMPING EFFECTKEEP THE VAPORIING CHAMBER SMALL OR INCREASING THE SIZE OF THE BYPASS CHAMBER .

77. MODIFICATIONS TO MINIMISE PUMPING EFFECTADD LONG SPIRAL OR LARGE DIAMETER TUBE TO LEAD TO THE VAPORIZER CHAMBER.THE EXTRA GAS FORCED INTO THIS TUBE & SUBSEQUENTLY RETURNED TO THE BYPASS DOES NOT REACH THE VAPORIZING CHAMBER

78. MODIFICATIONS TO MINIMISE PUMPING EFFECTINCREASE RESISTANCE TO GAS FLOW THROUGH THE VAPORIZER.

79. MODIFICATIONS TO MINIMISE PUMPING EFFECTCHECK VALVE TO PREVENT BACKWARD FLOW OF GAS

80. MODIFICATIONS TO MINIMISE PUMPING EFFECTEXCLUDE WICKS FROM THE AREA WHERE THE INLET TUBE JOINS THE VAPORIZING CHAMBER.OUTLET TUBE MAY BE MADE LONGER SO THAT UNSATURATED GAS WILL HAVE TO PASS FURTHER BACK BEFORE PICKING UP ANESTHETIC VAPOUR.CONNECTIONS OF OXYGEN FLUSH VALVE LINE TO THE COMMON GAS OUTLET BE DESIGNED TO MINIMISE PRESSURE FLUCTUATIONS THAT MAY PRODUCE A PUMPING EFFECTLIMIT PRESSURE TRANSMITTED TO VAPORIZER TO <10KPa ABOVE NORMAL WORKING PRESSURE ,CONC NOT TO INCREASE >20%

81. PRESSURIZING EFFECTTHE O/P OF SOME VAPORIZER USED IN CONJUNCTION WITH AUTOMATIC VENTILATOR HAS BEEN FOUND TO BE LOWER THAN DURING FREE FLOW TO ATMOSPHERE.MOSTLY SEEN WHENHIGH FLOWLARGE PRESSURE FLUCTUATIONSLOW DIAL SETTINGS

83. PRESSURIZING EFFECTNo of mol.s of the agent picked by carrier gas ∝ density of vapor mol.s in vaporizing chamber ∝ vapor pressure Increased pressure in vaporizer chamber compress carrier gas more mol.s/mL No of mols of the anesthetic agent same o/p ↓edThe Changes In Vaporizer O/P Caused By The Pumping Effect Usually Are Greater In Magnitude Than Those Associated With The Pressurizing Effect
