Background: An arterial blood gas (ABG) study is a test that measures the levels of many different gases like oxygen rich blood, carbon dioxide and bicarbonate, some these measured directly, while others are calculated from measurement other by measuring in blood.Objective: To assess level knowledge regarding ABG analysis interpretation results among staff nurses.Materials Methods: Descriptive ...

BACKGROUND The objective of this study was to examine the correlation between arterial blood gas (ABG) and peripheral venous blood gas (VBG) samples for all commonly used parameters in patients admitted to a medical intensive care unit (ICU). METHODS A single-center, prospective trial was carried out in a medical ICU in order to determine the level of correlation of ABG and peripheral VBG mea...

Consider a player who diligently executes (only) the delegated protocol but the adversary steals some private information from him. Should such a player be considered faulty? In a stand alone execution model, the answer can be either yes or no depending on the context/settings. However, with respect to composition of protocols, we show that the answer has to be no even though the literature ans...

• A patient with bilateral cleft lip and palate showed retroclination of premaxilla. The underwent a late bone graft (BG) without osteotomy the Large spaces after BG were closed by canine molar mesial movement. lingual inclination maxillary central incisors improved 24.5°. Even in BG, good outcome can be achieved clear treatment plan. In patients palate, management position premaxilla timing se...

In addition, due to the nature of ABG testing, clinicians cannot afford to waste time or resources when making decisions based on an ABG sample analysis. To ensure accurate results for such decision-making, it is imperative that the analytical process be as standardized and finely calibrated as possible. For example, variations in technique in the areas of specimen preparation, turnaround time ...

STUDY OBJECTIVES A brief discontinuation (< 1 week) of long-term ventilation may be necessary in patients who are not totally ventilator-dependent in cases of technical problems, intolerable nasal irritation, upper airway congestion, or travel. We examined the incidence, timing, and causes of possible clinical deterioration after a brief withdrawal of ventilation in patients with chronic respir...

Using the Drosophila cell line MLDmBG-1, a monoclonal antibody aBG-1 that can inhibit not only cell clumping but also cell spreading was generated. This antibody immunoprecipitates a complex of molecules consisting of a major 120 x 10(3) Mr and other components. To characterize the 120 x 10(3) Mr component, we purified it, generated antibodies to it, and cloned its cDNA. Sequencing of this cDNA...

Background: Bullous emphysema is characterized by destruction of lung parenchyma, reduction in elasticity of the lung, hyperinflation, and ventilation/perfusion mismatch. Ventilatory management of the patient with bullous emphysema is challenging, and especially so for the patient undergoing cardiac surgery. Case report: A 47-yearold man with severe diffuse bullous emphysema requested general a...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE A right-to-left shunt can be identified by contrast transcranial Doppler ultrasonography (c-TCD) at rest and/or after a Valsalva maneuver (VM) or by arterial blood gas (ABG) measurement. We assessed the influence of controlled strain pressures and durations during VM on the right-to-left passage of microbubbles, on which depends the shunt classification by c-TCD, and corr...
