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 کاملEffect 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 کاملWheelchair stability: effect of body position.
When a wheelchair user reaches and leans, the static stability decreases in the direction of the lean and increases in the opposite direction. The purpose of this study was to determine the extent of this effect. We studied 21 nondisabled subjects in a representative wheelchair, measuring the static forward, rear, and lateral stability on a tilting platform. Reaching and leaning away from the t...
متن کاملEffect of atropine on alveolar gas mixing in man.
1. Atropine is known to diminish bronchomotor tone. In order to investigate the acute effect of atropine on respiration and alveolar gas mixing, a dose of 2.4 mg was given intravenously. 2. Ten normal male volunteers were each studied three times with a nitrogen washout method, once before administration of atropine and then 20 min and 60 min thereafter. 3. After the administration of atropine ...
متن کاملEffect of Body Position on Physiological Alteration While Feeding Infants: A Systematic Review
Background: An infant should be able to coordinate sucking, swallowing, and breathing to have a safe and effective feeding, which is developed with the increasing gestational age. Any problem in each of these functions can lead to the risk of aspiration, pneumonia, decreased oxygenation saturation, apnea, and bradycardia. The changed body positions may cause changes in the physiological efficie...
