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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Objectives COVID-19 causes lung parenchymal and endothelial damage that lead to hypoxic acute respiratory failure (hARF). The influence of hARF severity on patients’ outcomes is still poorly ...
In intensive care and emergency settings, interpreting blood gases is a daily routine. However, I feel that many people read them based on a vague sense of the situation or remain unable to fully ...
