Rate of rise of alveolar xenon concentration in man.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The rate of rise of alveolar xenon concentration toward a fixed inspired level was measured in four adult male volunteers. At 1 minute the ratio of end-tidal to inspired xenon concentration was 0.76, at 2 minutes it was 0.38, at 5 minutes it was 0.96, and at 20 minutes it was 0.97. These results agree with those predicted from xenon solubility in blood and tissues, and were closely simulated with a passive resistancecapacitor analogue.

Quantitative evaluation of hemodynamic parameters during acute alveolar hypoxia and hypercapnia in the isolated ventilated-perfused rabbit lung
Introduction: Acute respiratory disorders such as obstructive pulmonary diseases and hypoventilation may lead to alveolar hypoxia and hypercapnia which their effects on pulmonary vascular beds are controversial. The aim of this study was to establish the isolated perfused lung setup and investigate the effects of alveolar hypoxia and hypercapnia on pulmonary vascular resistance. Methods: White ...
متن کاملRandomized controlled trial of the haemodynamic and recovery effects of xenon or propofol anaesthesia.
BACKGROUND There is limited clinical experience with xenon in a large number of patients. We present intra- and postoperative haemodynamic and recovery data comparing xenon and total intravenous anaesthesia with propofol. METHODS A total of 160 patients aged 18-60 years (ASA I and II) undergoing elective surgery took part in this prospective non-blinded randomized controlled trial. After loca...
متن کاملThermoregulatory thresholds for vasoconstriction in patients anesthetized with various 1-minimum alveolar concentration combinations of xenon, nitrous oxide, and isoflurane.
BACKGROUND Nitrous oxide limits intraoperative hypothermia because the vasoconstriction threshold with nitrous oxide is higher than with equi-minimum alveolar concentrations of sevoflurane or isoflurane, presumably because of its stimulating actions on the sympathetic nervous system. Xenon, in contrast, does not cause sympathetic activation. Therefore, the authors tested the hypothesis that the...
متن کاملThe 308-nm xenon chloride excimer laser in combination with topical calcipotriol in the treatment of vitiligo
Background: Treatment of vitiligo remains an attractive topic and several therapies with varying degrees of success have been used. The aim of this study was to find out whether the combination of topical calcipotriol and excimer laser increases the efficacy of therapy compared to excimer laser alone. Methods: Twenty eight patients in two groups were treated with 308nm excimer laser alone (14 p...
متن کاملPositron emission tomography study of regional cerebral metabolism during general anesthesia with xenon in humans.
BACKGROUND The precise mechanism by which the gaseous anesthetic xenon exerts its effects in the human brain remains unknown. Xenon has only negligible effects on inhibitory gamma-aminobutyric acid receptors, one of the putative molecular targets for most general anesthetics. Instead, xenon has been suggested to induce anesthesia by inhibiting excitatory glutamatergic signaling. Therefore, the ...
