Some links and formulas!
How does it measure cardiac output?

Using thermodilution and utilisation of Stewart Hamilton’s equation of:

(Tb-Ti)*Volume*k/intergration of change in T
What is venous admixture?

Venous admixture is the amount of mixed venous blood that needs to be added to end-capillary blood to account for the difference seen in pO2 between arterial blood and end-capillary blood.

It is calculated using the equation:

Qs/Qt = Cc’O2 – CaO2 / Cc’O2 – CvO2

Alveolar gas equation.

PAO2 = FiO2 (Patm – PH2O) – pCO2/R

Is there anything else at the end?

Yes there is a correction factor (+F) which is FiO2 * pCO2 * (1-R)/R and this is normally less than 2mmHg.

O2 content = SaO2 * Hb * 1.34 (Huffner’s constant which ideally is 1.39) + pO2 * 0.003

Here is our deep dive into what exactly occurs to volatile washout in an anaesthetised person if cardiac output changes. Out of the textbooks we reviewed, only MILLER'S ANESTHESIA (thought by many to be the bible of anaesthesia) comments on exactly what occurs!
In this episode we reveal what Dr Stan discovered by running his very own transparent simulations using Gasman.
https://www.gasmanweb.com
The cardiac output/washout analysis begins at approx 9mins 30seconds.
Our parameters for wash-in and washout analysis
Time
30mins vs 6 hrs
Cardiac output
1L/min vs 10L/min
Minute ventilation
1L/min vs 10L/min
Volatile
isoflurane at 2% at fresh gas flow fo 2L/min
Patient weight

Anaesthesia Coffee Break - How does morbid obesity affect washout of volatile anaesthetic?
play

02/01/21 • 46 min

This is one of the more complex questions in anaesthesia!
Here's the actual WHO definition that doesn't use the term morbid obesity but rather obesity class 1, 2 and 3.

Obesity is frequently subdivided into categories:

  • Class 1: BMI of 30 to < 35
  • Class 2: BMI of 35 to < 40
  • Class 3: BMI of 40 or higher. Class 3 obesity is sometimes categorized as “extreme” or “severe” obesity.

NB LISTEN TO NEXT EPISODE FOR DEEP DIVE INTO THE EFFECT OF CARDIAC OUTPUT ON WASHOUT!!!
Millers Chapter 20 Inhaled Anesthetic Uptake, Distribution, Metabolism, and Toxicity
Section: Recovery from Anesthesia and figures 20.4 and 20.5 show FASTER washout with LOW cardiacs output.
This is also referenced by the ex chair of first part exam at the primary LO website.
This chapter also has good graphs to replicate for the exam.

Anaesthesia Coffee Break - Why is there a difference between you measured ETCO2 and PaCO2?
play

10/24/21 • 23 min

In this episode we talk about this very common phenomenon in anaesthesia, the difference between ETCO2 and PaCO2.
Essentially this all comes down to patient and equipment factors.
BUT the essential element that makes the largest difference is DEAD SPACE.
we discuss the factors effecting it, and the Bohr equation that measures dead space.
