Effect of body position on gas exchange after thoracotomy.
To determine the effect of change in body position on gas exchange after thoracotomy, 12 patients with potentially resectable lung tumours were studied before and 24 hours after operation. Measurements of arterial blood gas tension (PaO2, PaCO2), alveolar-arterial oxygen difference (A--adO2), venous admixture effect (Qs/Qt percent), and physiological dead space to tidal volume ratio (Vd/Vt), we...
متن کاملBody positional effect on gas exchange in unilateral pleural effusion.
The positional effect on gas exchange was studied in eight patients who had unilateral pleural fluid without clinical or radiologic evidence of parenchymal lung disease. In all eight patients, PaO2 values were higher when the lung with the pleural fluid was uppermost. The mean PaO2 in this position was 71.9 +/- 9.3 mm Hg (mean +/- SE) compared with 66.7 +/- 8.7 mm Hg in the lateral decubitus po...
متن کاملEffect of body position on gas exchange in patients with unilateral central airway lesions. Down with the good lung?
In this study, we evaluated the effect of body position (erect, supine, and two decubitus positions) on gas exchange (alveolar-arterial PO2 difference [AaPO2]) in 35 patients who had various degrees of lung collapse roentgenographically caused by unilateral central airway lesions, with special reference to the difference in AaPO2 between two lateral decubitus positions. The patients were divide...

this experimental study has been conducted to test the effect of oral presentation on the development of l2 learners grammar. but this oral presentation is not merely a deductive instruction of grammatical points, in this presentation two hypotheses of krashen (input and low filter hypotheses), stevicks viewpoints on grammar explanation and correction and widdowsons opinion on limited use of l1...
15 صفحه اولEffect of thoracentesis on pulmonary gas exchange.
The effect of thoracentesis on pulmonary gas exchange was studied in 33 patients with unilateral pleural effusions of various causes. Arterial blood gases were measured before thoracentesis and at 20 minutes, two hours, and 24 hours after the procedure. In 13 patients alveolar arterial oxygen gradient (PA-ao2), physiological dead space:tidal volume ratio (VD/VT), physiological shunt, and "anato...
