Clinical Application of Blood Gases

Blood Reaction and Blood Gases in Pneumonia.

Peabody in 1912 (1) published a paper on the metabolism in pneumonia, in which he reviewed the previous literature and studied among other factors the blood gases and acid-base balance. Since Peabody, a number of other investigators have studied the blood gases and the question of the existence and importance of acidosis in pneumonia. The present paper is a report of observations on these subje...

This aspect of medicine is often referred to as the “art” of medicine and addresses that portion of disease management that is also referred to as clinical judgment or experience.

Changes in Blood Gases and Hemodynamic Parameters in Patients Undergoing Lung Resection Surgery and Its Clinical Implications

Introduction: Lung resection surgery is a challenge to thoracic surgeons. Outcome of surgery depends on patients’ tolerance to reduced lung volume and hemodynamic alterations. The present study aimed to investigate the changes in blood gases and hemodynamic parameters in patients undergoing lung resection surgery and the associated clinical implications. Materials and methods: This study includ...
