Our objective was to assess the relationship between the pre-/post-oxygenator gradient of the partial pressure of carbon dioxide (∆EC PCO2; dissolved form) and CO2 elimination under extracorporeal ...

An increase in intramucosal-arterial Pco2 gradient (DeltaPco2) might be caused by tissue hypoxia or by diminished blood flow. Our hypothesis was that DeltaPco2 should not be altered in anemic hypoxia ...

Blood gas, electrolyte and lactate analysis are very useful in management of the ill or injured dog or cat. Knowledge of normal values and what they indicate can help improve patient care and ...

People live in high altitude hypoventilate, hypothesized due to reduced partial pressure of oxygen (PO2) results in arterial de-saturation; respiration is then driven by the arterial chemoreceptors, ...
