Background: A major contributor to unfavorable outcome after traumatic brain injury (TBI) is secondary brain injury. Low brain tissue oxygen tension (PbtO2) has shown to be an independent predictor of ...
Exposure to hyperoxia, a high arterial partial pressure of oxygen (PaO2), may be associated with worse outcomes in patients receiving extracorporeal membrane oxygenator (ECMO) support. We examined ...
Background: The AHA guidelines for cardiopulmonary resuscitation (2005) recommend a mild hypothermia (32–34 °C) for 24 hours after cardiac arrest, as it significantly improves survival and ...
Basic lung function is designed to exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide. In order to transfer oxygen from atmospheric air to the blood stream three functions must be in place: ventilation, diffusion, ...
Introduction Hypoxic challenge test consisting of breathing 15% FiO2 for 20 min with blood gas measurements is recommended by BTS guidelines for the assessment of the requirement for in-flight oxygen.
Calculating the partial pressure of oxygen in arterial blood (PaO2) is an essential skill for medical professionals, especially in assessing a patient’s respiratory health. This article will provide a ...
