, What should you set your vaporizer at with a atmospheric
pressure of 550 mmHg? - CONFIRMED ANSWER (Vol% x 760
mmHg) / Ambient pressure (i.e. 550)
8.3%
Using DALTONS LAW OF PARTIAL PRESSURES:
Partial Pressure (at sea level) = 6% x 760 = 45.6 mmHg
Partial pressure (on a mountain) = 6% x 550 = 33 mmHg
This represents the reduction in vaporizer output at different
elevations. The patient will receive less anesthetic, even though
the setting on the dial is the same.
FYI:
Vol% = (Parital pressure / total pressure) x 100
PP = Vol% x total pressure - CONFIRMED ANSWER
