Eight morbidly obese patients (body mass index [BMI] = 46) were studied during general anesthesia and controlled mechanical ventilation. To evaluate the effect of large tidal volume ventilation on oxygenation and ventilation, the baseline 13 mL/kg tidal volume (VT) (calculated by the ideal body
Obesity is a major risk factor for the development of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and obesity hypoventilation syndrome (OHS), which manifest as intermittent hypercapnia and sustained plus intermittent hypercapnia, respectively. In this study, we investigated whether CO2 affects adipocyte
The authors seek to find new connections between recent results of biology and older theories. This paper aims to assemble the jigsaw puzzle. The theoretical background of the hypothesis was described in the previous issue of the journal (Sikter et al. 2017a). Human stress response often coexists
Arterial blood gases (pH, pO2, p CO2) were studied in 100 patients with documented pulmonary embolism (Group A), confirmed by pulmonary angiography (n = 51) or scintigraphy ( n = 49). The pO2 ranged from 32 to 97 mm Hg (average 60,5 +/- 13 mm Hg). Hypoxaemia was found in 97 cases and would therefore
BACKGROUND
Heart failure (HF) and sleep apnoea (SA) association has been recognized but whether it results from confounding factors (hypertension, ischaemia, obesity) remains unclear.We aimed to determine the prevalence of SA in HF and to identify potential risk factors for SA in HF
A cautions analysis of the respiratory preoperative study may decrease morbidity and mortality after pulmonary surgery. To search for predictive criteria of respiratory complications following this kind of surgery, 454 patients have been studied retrospectively. Morbidity was defined as the need for
A formula is derived for maintaining normocapnia during controlled ventilation using a circle system without carbon dioxide absorption. In a series of 70 patients, unselected in terms of age, sex, obesity, ASA status, body position during operation, type of anaesthetic administered or type of circle
The effects of isocapnic hyperventilation (A) and normoventilation (B) on PaCO2, PaO2 and A-aDO2 were compared in 102 patients undergoing elective surgery, randomized into two comparable groups A and B. Cases for thoracic, high abdominal and intracranial surgery were excluded, as well as patients
BACKGROUND
Aminophylline, a theophylline compound that contains ethylenediamine, has untoward side effects on many organ systems.
OBJECTIVE
The goal of this case report was to illustrate the occurrence of acute adverse events (ie, chest discomfort and myocardial enzyme elevation) that may be
Recent studies of obstructive sleep apnea and its comorbidity with other systemic diseases have stimulated interest in the relationship of apnea to renal disease and hypertension. Polysomnographic sleep studies in patients on dialysis who complain of day-time fatigue or sleepiness reveal significant
From December, 1990 to December, 1991, we studied the influence of PEEP and positional change to arterial blood gas in 60 ASA class II or III, aged 20 to 65 years, non-obese patients. The patients were assigned randomly into six groups. Group 1: head down position without PEEP. Group 2: head down
Central sleep apnea is a disorder characterized by apneic episodes during sleep with no associated ventilatory effort. More commonly than not these apneas are seen in patients who also have obstructive and mixed events. Although patients with this disorder frequently complain of insomnia and
