Abdominal Gas Pattern

چکیده
This sounds like a lot to consider, but in actuality the student will quickly make a decision as to whether or not the pattern is normal. If it is not, one then has to decide why not, and also if the pattern is specific or non-specific. In our department we routinely include an upright chest PA view with any order for abdominal films unless a KUB (KUB is a scout film of the abdomen) is specifically requested. We also include either an upright or decubitus film depending on the patient's condition.

متن کاملRegulation of gas exchange and haemolymph pH in the cockroach Nauphoeta cinerea.
Ventilatory control of internal CO(2) plays an important role in regulating extracellular acid-base balance in terrestrial animals. While this phenomenon is well understood among vertebrates, the role that respiration plays in the acid-base balance of insects is in need of much further study. To measure changes in insect haemolymph pH, we implanted micro pH optodes into the haemocoel of cockroa...
متن کاملDirect measurement of oxygen partial pressure in a flying bumblebee.
The gas transport system of a bumblebee was investigated by measuring the oxygen partial pressure P(O(2)) in the wing muscle. In the resting bee, P(O(2)) showed a regular pattern of fluctuation with a typical period of 70-120s. Fluctuations in muscular P(O(2)) were associated with intermittent abdominal pumping. Ventilation by abdominal movements may not be necessary during rest because P(O(2))...
