In asthma, lower end-tidal carbon dioxide may predict acute exacerbation outcomes, although other measures may be better severity indicators.

In general, the degree of unsaturation paralleled the degree of occlusion of pulmonary vessels as judged by post-mortem examination or by the magnitude of the arterial-end-tidal carbon dioxide ...

Large differences between arterial and end-tidal carbon dioxide tensions were present in patients with both chronic and acute pulmonary disease. For this reason the adequacy of ventilation cannot ...

The HF gain findings were independent of end-tidal CO2 levels but exhibited some dependency of coherence. Discussion: The high gain can be interpreted as a generalized high vascular resistance. The ...

Capnography offers end-tidal, inspired, and real-time CO2 waveforms and crucial information about the patient’s ventilation status. Temperature monitoring is facilitated by calibrated modules with ...

Clinical consequences of heart failure are fatigue, dyspnea, and progressive impairment of exercise tolerance. Regular exercise training is associated with health-improving effects. In patients ...

All three agents have ample potency and a protective effect in vital tissues, and they can degrade to carbon monoxide in the presence of a desiccated carbon dioxide absorbent. Sevoflurane has an ...

Also similar to the adult patient is the realization that carbon dioxide (CO 2) elimination is likely the only recommended physiologic parameter that can be easily monitored in the field.

Introduction: Dynamic susceptibility contrast (DSC) MRI allows clinicians to determine perfusion parameters in the brain, such as cerebral blood flow, cerebral blood volume, and mean transit time. To ...
