Effect 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...
متن کاملEffect of pulmonary hypertension on gas exchange.
This paper reviews the effects of pulmonary artery hypertension on gas exchange by exploring three different issues, namely: 1) how does gas exchange behave in diseases characterized by increased vascular tone (primary pulmonary hypertension (PPH), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and interstitial pulmonary fibrosis (IPF)) or decreased vascular tone ("hepatopulmonary syndrome"); 2) ...

altitude either during physical maturation (at age 10±4 yr) or as adults (at age 26±4 yr). The relative degree of acclimatization achieved in these lowland residents was assessed through their comparison both with normal sea-level values and with two additional groups of short-term sojourners and natives to 3,100 m. DLco at rest and work was significantly elevated above normal and above sojourn...

متن کاملPulmonary gas exchange on Mount Everest.
The paper by PEACOCK and JONES [1], "Gas Exchange at Extreme Altitude: Results from the British 40th Anniversary Expedition", presented in this issue of the Journal, reports fascinating new data recorded at extreme altitudes (up to 8,000 m) on Mount Everest. Among the interesting findings, was the fact that, on the South Col (altitude 8000 m), alveolar oxygen tension (PA,O2) (measured with a fu...
