Arterial oxygen and carbon dioxide tensions, pH and forced expiratory volumes were measured in 101 asthmatic patients during acute attacks of bronchospasm. Hypoxemia was observed in 91 subjects. The ...
A discrepancy between the predicted ventilation standards and the actual ventilation requirements may be caused by an increase in the physiologic dead space or by an increased carbon dioxide ...
Extract: Serial studies of arterial and alveolar oxygen, carbon dioxide, and nitrogen tensions, arterial pH, and ratios of dead space: tidal volume were made in 24 nondistressed premature infants. By ...
