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 validate a previously derived venous pCO2 (pvCO2) cut-off for ruling out arterial hypercarbia in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), matched arterial and venous blood gas ...

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 ...

A proper understanding of the terms acidosis, alkalosis, acidemia, and alkalemia is necessary to differentiate simple from mixed acid base disorders. Acidosis and alkalosis refer to the ...

An innovative tool for assessing the impact of climate change in the ocean: measuring pCO2 at sea with the SeaExplorer underwater gliderUnderstanding the ocean’s role in the global carbon cycle and ...

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 ...
