The following is a summary of “Partial pressure of carbon dioxide/pH interaction and its association with mortality among patients mechanically ventilated in the emergency department,” published in ...

Background: Hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) represents one of the major causes of neonatal death and long-term neurological disability. Both hypoxic-ischemic insults and therapeutic hypothermia ...

The impact of ocean acidification on benthic habitats is a major preoccupation of the scientific community. However, the natural variability of pCO2 and pH in those habitats remains understudied, ...

To determine the agreement between arterial and venous samples in a pathologically diverse patient population presenting at an emergency department (ED) with a view to obviating the need for arterial ...

Arterial blood gas measurement is a standard way to initiate and monitor Noninvasive ventilation (NIV) in acute hypercapnic respiratory Failure. It is painful for patients and time and resource ...

A large multi-centre study has made an important finding about the relationship between hypercapnia (high carbon dioxide or CO2) in the blood of patients with acute brain injury and hospital mortality ...

ABSTRACT: Altered blood chemistry, acid-base and electrolyte are suggested determinants of sleep disturbance, with frequent arousal at high altitude even in well and long-trained altitude marathon ...
