Evaluation of transcutaneous CO2 responses following acute changes in PaCO2 in healthy subjects.

14 Dec 2009 BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Transcutaneous blood gas-monitoring systems with miniaturized SpO(2) (peripheral blood oxygen saturation)/PCO(2) combined sensors (TOSCATM) have been widely used. There are no reports of the inter- and intra-individual ... Read more...


Impairment of intracerebral arteriole dilation responses after subarachnoid hemorrhage. Laboratory investigation.

30 Oct 2009 OBJECT: Cerebrovascular dysfunction after subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) may contribute to ischemia, but little is known about the contribution of intracerebral arterioles. In this study, the authors tested the hypothesis that SAH inhibits the ... Read more...


Pulmonary capillary blood flow and cardiac output measurement by partial carbon dioxide rebreathing in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome receiving lung protective ventilation.

30 Oct 2009 BACKGROUND: Partial carbon dioxide rebreathing noninvasively measures the pulmonary capillary blood flow and estimates the cardiac output with the use of a predicted shunt value. It has been reported that the accuracy of the method is decreased in ... Read more...
