How many minutes of oxygen are left in that tank? Why does the nitrous gauge read full when the tank is almost empty? In Week 4 of our 12-week SEE/NCE series, we take every gas law straight to a patient and then give you a memory trick so it actually sticks. In this episode: • Boyle's, Charles's and Gay-Lussac's laws, from a pneumothorax at altitude to a cylinder near a fire • Why the ideal gas law lets an oxygen gauge tell you what's left, plus quick E-cylinder math • Critical temperature, and why the nitrous gauge reads full until the tank is nearly empty • Dalton's and Henry's laws: partial pressure, desflurane at altitude and dissolved oxygen • Diffusion with Graham's and Fick's laws, and why nitrous expands a pneumothorax or an obstructed bowel • Laminar vs turbulent flow, Poiseuille's law, heliox and the Venturi mask Want more content like this?
