Its upper part forms a box in which the air is kept by means of a bellows, and therefore cannot escape unless at its normal tension. In the Rouquayrol apparatus such as we use, two india rubber pipes leave this box and join a sort of tent which holds the nose and mouth; one is ...
The present concept that normal arterial oxygen tension is 100 mm Hg, regardless of age, may have to be altered.doi:10.1111/j.1532-5415.1973.tb00840.xOSCAR NEUFELD M.D.ToledoF.C.C.P.ToledoJOSEF R. SMITH M.D.ToledoF.A.C.P.ToledoS. L. GOLDMAN Ph.D....
OSAS is characterized by recurrent interruption of normal breathing during sleep, owing to upper airway obstruction (apnoeic spells) The apnoeic spells can cause a decrease in arterial oxygen saturation and a rise in carbon dioxide saturation during sleep.OSAS also compromises circulation at the optic ...

A method of predicting arterial carbon dioxide tension in anaesthetized patients having controlled ventilation using a circle system without carbon dioxide absorption is described. Adequate mixing of circuit and alveolar gases is assumed when large minute volumes are provided, and the Nunn blood-gas pred...
The various aspects of normal arterial tension and what is known about the cause and treatment of hypertension and hypotension are intelligently discussed in the light of present knowledge. On the whole, the book should prove a useful First Page Preview View Large Full Text ...
The femoral vein and internal jugular veins are nonarterialized veins and are therefore useful if a large sheath (>7 Fr) is needed, particularly when deploying a stent graft. Once access is obtained depending on the site of the lesion and anatomy, either a 0.018 or a 0.035 system is used...
1,2,10 Oxygen saturation, based on pulse oximetry, may also appear normal because these devices do not differentiate between COHb and oxyhemoglobin.3 Co-oximetry allows direct measurement ofoxyhemoglobin and COHb (see Chapter 208, Blood Gas and Oximetry Monitoring).9 A reduction in the arterial-...
The heart subsequently elongates and loops as second heart field (SHF) progenitor cells in the dorsal wall of the pericardial cavity (DPW) contribute to the growing arterial and venous poles6,7. Defects in SHF deployment cause a spectrum of common congenital heart defects7,8. SHF cells in ...
The limits of agreement between PACO2eff and PaCO2 were 0.526 to -0.935 in normal subjects and 1.170 to -2.088 in patients. CONCLUSIONS--The volume weighted effective alveolar PCO2 in normal subjects and patients with chronic airways obstruction is lower than the arterial PCO2 and is recommended ...
