The acid-base composition of plasma during hypocapneic anesthesia in man has been used to construct a 95 per cent significance band defining the acute steady-state response to reduced carbon dioxide ...

This was a well-done, very detailed study. It's also depressing. The results leave me wondering what we can do with the data. The high rates of tobacco use worldwide and rising obesity levels in first ...

RESPIRATORY failure is usually complicated by a rising blood carbon dioxide tension (pCO 2) and, as a consequence, carbonic acid and hydrogen ion concentration increase in the body fluids. Acutely, ...

There is an evolving body of evidence suggesting that hypercapnic acidosis exerts biologically important beneficial effects in experimental models. Laffey et al 12, 13 showed that therapeutic ...

Addition of home noninvasive ventilation in COPD Adding home noninvasive ventilation to home oxygen therapy was effective in patients with persistent hypercapnia following an acute exacerbation of ...

Hypercapnic patients were best separated from normocapnic patients using thresholds for FVC% of 56% predicted and 33% predicted for FEV1%. Hypercapnia in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary ...

Too much oxygen can be dangerous for patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) with (or at risk of) hypercapnia (partial pressure of carbon dioxide in arterial blood greater than 45 ...
