The Diagnostic Value of End-tidal Carbon Dioxide (EtCO2) and Alveolar Dead Space (AVDS) in Patients with Suspected Pulmonary Thrombo-embolism (PTE)

Introduction: Capnography, is an easy, fast and practical method which its application in the diagnosis of Pulmonary Thromboendarterectomy (PTE) has recently been studied. This study aimed to assess the diagnostic value of end-tidal CO2 (ETCO2) and the alveolar dead space (AVDS) in the diagnosis of patients suspected to PTE who have been referred to the emergency department. Materials and Metho...

بررسی همبستگی و میزان توافق نتایج PaCO2 گازهای خون شریانی با CO2 انتهای بازدمی (End-Tidal CO2) توسط کاپنوگرافی در بیماران مبتلا به تشدید حاد بیماری انسدادی ریوی (COPD)

  Background : Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) represents a major public health problem. The course of COPD is characterized by episodic periods of worsening symptoms, termed exacerbations. Supplemental oxygen should be given to patients with COPD exacerbation without causing CO2 retention. Arterial blood gas sampling is the gold standard for monitoring adequate oxygenation and for...

Pulmonary Edema after Catastrophic Carbon Dioxide Embolism during Laparoscopic Ovarian Cystectomy

Laparoscopy is a surgical procedure used both for diagnosis and for various treatments. A rare but sometimes fatal complication of laparoscopy is pulmonary embolism with CO2 resulting in pulmonary edema. During laparoscopic gynecological surgery in a 29-year-old woman who had previously undergone lower abdominal surgery, the end-tidal CO2 suddenly increased from 40 mmHg to 85 mmHg and then decr...

بررسی نیاز‌های توجهی کنترل الگوی تنفس و ارتباط آن با پیامد‌های متابولیکی تنفس در افراد سالم

Objective: Normal breathing is essential for adjustment of natural metabolism of human body. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate the control of breathing pattern in normal subjects both at rest and during cognitive loading. Materials & Methods: In this quasi-experimental study, 24 healthy subjects (14 males, 10 females) were selected by simple and convenient sampling. Spirometry...
