Breath tests and airway gas exchange.
Measuring soluble gas in the exhaled breath is a non-invasive technique used to estimate levels of respiratory, solvent, and metabolic gases. The interpretation of these measurements is based on the assumption that the measured gases exchange in the alveoli. While the respiratory gases have a low blood-solubility and exchange in the alveoli, high blood-soluble gases exchange in the airways. The...
متن کاملVenous air embolism related to the use of central catheters revisited: with emphasis on dialysis catheters
Venous air embolism is a dreaded condition particularly relevant to the field of nephrology. In the face of a favourable, air-to-blood pressure gradient and an abnormal communication between the atmosphere and the veins, air entrance into the circulation is common and can bring about venous air embolism. These air emboli can migrate to different areas through three major routes: pulmonary circu...

متن کاملAppropriate Use Criteria for Ventilation–Perfusion Imaging in Pulmonary Embolism
Perfusion lung imaging for diagnosing pulmonary embolism (PE) was introduced 50 y ago (1). At that time, it offered a noninvasive alternative to pulmonary angiography in patients with a clinical suspicion of PE. Because there are many causes of diminished regional blood flow in the lungs, particularly redistribution of blood flow away from regions with lung disease, the subsequent introduction ...
متن کاملNasal continuous positive airway pressure: does bubbling improve gas exchange?
In a randomised crossover trial, 26 babies, treated with Hudson prong continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) from a bubbling bottle, received vigorous, high amplitude, or slow bubbling for 30 minutes. Pulse oximetry, transcutaneous carbon dioxide, and respiratory rate were recorded. The bubbling rates had no effect on carbon dioxide, oxygenation, or respiratory rate.
