Arterial Blood Gas Sampling (ABG) Egan Chapter 18 I. Introduction – A. What are “blood gases”? a. They are gases (2) found in the blood a) O2 for cell metabolism and b) CO2 which is a by-product of that metabolism B. Why “arterial” blood gas sampling and not venous blood ...
The object of this study is to show that routine, arterial blood gas draws on trauma patients may not be necessary since serum lactate levels provide equally accurate information. Methods We conducted a retrospective chart review of trauma activations at a level I trauma center and collected ...

a nonselective agonist of EP1/EP3 receptors, promotes vasoconstriction and increases blood pressure; this vasoconstriction effect is significantly inhibited in EP1/EP3 receptor-knockout mice [132]. However, the role of EP1 in PH has not yet been elucidated. The Th1-...
Aortic arch pressure was measured via a side port manometer, displayed on a chart recorder and recorded on FM magnetic tape. Aortic arch pressure was maintained at a constant non-pulsatile 80 mmHg between tests. Single fiber BR pressure tests...
According to his chart, the child has lost approximately 8 lb (3.6 kg) since his last visit to the clinic 6 months ago. The nurse finds palpable, nontender lymph nodes in the child's axilla and in the neck. The nurse suspects that the physician will: Incorrect: This child does not ...
Participants: Patients with congenital heart disease undergoing surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass Interventions: Chart review Measurements and Main Results: The first postoperative arterial blood gases were abstracted from electronic medical records, and reintubation or use of positive pressure respiratory ...
Patients who had a workup for a PE consisting of a computed tomography pulmonary angiogram and an arterial blood gas from 2002 to 2009 were included in the analysis. Sensitivity, specificity, and negative and positive predictive values were calculated. Additionally, common clinical signs and ...
A chart review was performed at Tampa General Hospital. Patients who had a workup for a PE consisting of a computed tomography pulmonary angiogram and an arterial blood gas from 2002 to 2009 were included in the analysis. Sensitivity, specificity, and negative and positive predictive values were...
Study Design: A retrospective chart review was performed on all pregnant women with pulmonary embolism at two large obstetric centers between 1990 and 1995. Alveolar-arterial gradients were calculated from room air arterial blood gas values and compared with values from patients who had been ...
