Arterial blood gasVentilation levelsCardiovascular status in artificially respired whole animal preparations is dependent, among other factors, upon the maintenance of normal blood gas and acid-base equilibria. A method is described for respiring the pithed rat preparation with oxygen-enriched air. Using...

A blood sample is required for a blood gas test. This invasive method of measuring blood oxygen saturation is used to assess respiratory function and acid-base balance. It can be arterial or venous. The main parameters used to assess respiratory function are partial pressures for oxygen (pO2) ...
Arterial blood gas measurements, obtained by arterial puncture, remain the gold standard for measurement of oxygen saturation. A personal finger pulse oximeter is designed to be fast, durable and intuitive. All you have to do is place it on any finger and wait a few seconds for it to ...
Blood electrolytes, hemoglobin concentration, and renal function were normal. There was no history of bronchopulmonary infection, and arterial blood gas values in room air were PaO2 83 mmHg, PaCO2 38 mmHg, pH 7.40, and HCO3 25 mM. Electrocardiogram showed regular sinus rhythm, and blood pressure...
The venous cord gas was normal and the arterial blood gas was not consistent with intrapartum asphyxia. At the time of surgery, the placenta appeared grossly normal. The autopsy was entirely normal. This case raises questions about our understanding of intrauterine fetal demise and suggests an ...
1.12 ), whereas the vessels will converge on the margins of the hilar fullness in the setting of pulmonary arterial enlargement (see Fig. 1.8 ). This finding is known as the hilar convergence sign (see Fig. 1.12 ). Fig. 1.12 Enlarged bilateral hilar lymph nodes from sarcoidosis. A ...
Arterial Blood Gas and Acid Base Balance: Tests and Interpretation from Chapter 20/ Lesson 10 47K An arterial blood gas (ABG) test assesses the acid-base balance, or pH, in the bloodstream. Learn what arterial blood gas is and the importance of pH balance, how results are interpret...
blood pressure n. Abbr. BP The pressure exerted by the blood against the walls of the blood vessels, especially the arteries. It varies with the strength of the heartbeat, the elasticity of the arterial walls, the volume and viscosity of the blood, and a person's health, age, and ...
