Assessment of gas exchange in lung disease: balancing accuracy against feasibility
While the principles underlying alveolar gas exchange have been well-known for over 50 years, we still struggle to assess gas exchange in hypoxemic patients. Unfortunately, simple measurements lack discrimination while complex measurements are infeasible in clinical care. The paper by Karbing et al. in this issue seeks a middle ground based on the arterial PO2 (PaO2)/inspired O2 fraction (FIO2)...
متن کاملControlled gas exchange in whole lung bioreactors.
In cellular, tissue-level or whole organ bioreactors, the level of dissolved oxygen is one of the most important factors requiring control. Hypoxic environments may lead to cellular apoptosis, while hyperoxic environments may lead to cellular damage or dedifferentiation, both resulting in loss of overall tissue function. This manuscript describes the creation, characterization and validation of...
متن کاملAlterations in lung mechanics and gas exchange following training in chronic obstructive lung disease.
Fourteen patients with advanced chronic obstructive lung disease participated in an in-patient exercise training program to investigate possible correlations between improved exercise tolerance and changes in certain pulmonary and metabolic parameters. The patients were all clinically stable and no changes in medication were made. Daily increasing periods of treadmill walking were performed bre...
متن کاملLung function, breathing pattern, and gas exchange in interstitial lung disease.
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to determine the relation between the severity of abnormalities in ventilatory function tests and tidal breathing pattern and gas exchange indices in interstitial lung disease. METHODS Pulmonary function, ventilation, carbon dioxide production, oxygen consumption, arterial blood gas tensions, and pH were measured during resting steady state conditions in 6...
متن کاملEVALUATION OF SERUM IM MUNOGLOBULINS AND THEIR RELEVANCE TO CHRONIC LUNG DISEASE IN MUSTARD GAS VICTINIS
Despite the fact that 8 years has elapsed since the end of the imposed war, chemically injured victims are still suffering from various long-term complications, most of them respiratory in nature. The progressive nature of respiratory problems in these patients suggests that the immune system must be involved to Initiate a cascade which ends up causing lung injuries. To evaluate this, humo...
