Lobar Alveolar Gas Concentration after Pneumonectomy1
We have recently shown that end-expiratory lobar alveolar gas concentrations vary with body position (1). Erect man has higher oxygen and lower carbon dioxide concentrations and a higher R.Q. in the right upper lobe than in the right lower lobe. Supine man has no significant difference between these lobes in R.Q. but the oxygen concentration is lower and the carbon dioxide higher in the upper l...
متن کاملAlveolar recruitment maneuver in refractory hypoxemia and lobar atelectasis after cardiac surgery: A case report
OBJECTIVE This case report describes an unusual presentation of right upper lobe atelectasis associated with refractory hypoxemia to conventional alveolar recruitment maneuvers in a patient soon after coronary artery bypass grafting surgery. METHOD Case-report. RESULTS The alveolar recruitment with PEEP = 40 cm H2O improved the patient's atelectasis and hypoxemia. CONCLUSION In the presen...
متن کاملMinimum alveolar concentration: A reconsideration
Minimum alveolar concentration (MAC), served as the vital concept for standard measure of potency for inhaled volatile anesthetic agents, has been employed in anesthetic practice for more than 50 years. A re-consideration in the connotation and influence factors on MAC is introduced in this article. MAC actually indicates “median effective dose (ED50) for immobility”, but it is at least not com...

متن کاملRespiratory gas exchange using a triaxial alveolar gas diagram.
A triaxial alveolar gas diagram to depict fractional concentration of oxygen, carbon dioxide and nitrogen is described, in which the R = 1 line is always implicit. Although it is not claimed that this representation leads to new insights into respiratory physiology, a method of plotting on a triaxial coordinate system has been found to be well suited to many applications when a direct display o...
