چکیده

Oxygen saturation of small arteries and veins (20-500 micron) was determined microspectrophotometrically in the hearts of 12 pentobarbital-anesthetized open-chest dogs. Hearts were removed, quick frozen in liquid propane, and O2 saturation was determined in blood vessels on a regional basis between and within ventricular walls. No significant differences existed in arterial O2 saturation between right, left, and septal walls or regionally within any wall by depth or in base-to-apex comparisons. Although there was variation in arterial saturation, it was independent of vessel size. Arteries were followed by serial section into the left ventricular wall for distances up to 7.5 mm without significant saturation change. The average venous saturations of the right, septal, and left ventricular walls were not significantly different. No regional differences in venous saturation were found within any ventricular wall in comparisons between base and apex. In the left ventricle, subepicardial venous saturation (29.8%) was significantly higher than subendocardial saturation (16.4%). In veins traced from the surface, saturation decreased with depth. Greater variability of saturation was found in small compared to large veins. The greater O2 extraction in the subendocardium may indicate a higher O2 consumption than in the subepicardium.

Myocardial oxygen consumption, oxygen supply/demand heterogeneity, and microvascular patency in regionally stunned myocardium.

Although oxygen consumption closely parallels mechanical work in the normal heart, previous studies have found that stunned myocardium may have normal or even increased oxygen consumption despite depressed function. In this study we used microspectrophotometry to measure the oxygen saturations within arteries and veins of less than 100 micron diameter in quick-frozen biopsy samples from normal ...

Regional coronary venous oxygen saturation and myocardial oxygen tension following abrupt changes in ventricular pressure in the isolated dog heart.

Regional coronary venous oxygen saturation and myocardial oxygen tension (Po2) in isolated dog hearts were measured using two different methods—a new technique of microscopic oximetry and an improved oxygen electrode. Both methods yielded similar results. In studies of the isolated perfused dog heart developing a constant left ventricular systolic pressure, mean coronary venous oxygen saturatio...

Retinal arterial and venous oxygen saturation is altered in diabetic patients.

PURPOSE To determine the retinal oxygen saturation trend with onset of diabetes and increasing severity of diabetic retinopathy by comparing diabetic groups with and without retinopathy to controls. METHODS A fundus camera-based dual-wavelength snapshot oximeter imaged retinas of healthy subjects and patients with and without diabetic retinopathy. The images were analyzed to determine oxygen ...

Changes in cerebral arterial, tissue and venous oxygenation with evoked neural stimulation: implications for hemoglobin-based functional neuroimaging.

Little is known regarding the changes in blood oxygen tension (P(O2)) with changes in brain function. This work aimed to measure the blood P(O2) in surface arteries and veins as well as tissue with evoked somato-sensory stimulation in the anesthetized rat. Electrical stimulation of the forepaw induced average increases in blood flow of 44% as well as increases in the tissue P(O2) of 28%. More i...

Effect of Blood Sampling Site on the Changes in the Physiological Indices of Preterm Infants: A Crossover Clinical Trial

Background: Venipuncture is one of the most painful and common interventions in Neonatal ward. A preterm infant can not cope long-lasting physiologic stresses; therefore, the pain caused by blood sampling may change the infant’s physiologic responses to the stress. This present study aim is to investigated and compare physiologic changes (pulse rate and oxygen saturation) in two sites of blood ...
