Assessing tissue oxygenation.

چکیده
Although physical examination remains an important part of the nursing assessment, assessment of tissue oxygenation provides additional vital information. Nurses who are caring for patients with compromised functioning must have a basic understanding of the physiological relationships between oxygen saturation, cardiac output, and acid-base balance and must be able to plan nursing care based on this knowledge.

Evaluation of lung tumor oxygenation using FREDOM and TOLD
Introduction: Tumor oxygenation plays an important role in malignant progression, metastasis and response to various therapies. F MR oximetry based on the reporter molecule hexafluorobenzene (HFB) using the FREDOM (Fluorocarbon Relaxometry using Echo planar imaging for Dynamic Oxygen Mapping) approach offers quantitative measurements of pO2 with spatial and temporal resolution allowing the dyna...
متن کاملAssessing Tumor Oxygenation for Predicting Outcome in Radiation Oncology: A Review of Studies Correlating Tumor Hypoxic Status and Outcome in the Preclinical and Clinical Settings
Tumor hypoxia is recognized as a limiting factor for the efficacy of radiotherapy, because it enhances tumor radioresistance. It is strongly suggested that assessing tumor oxygenation could help to predict the outcome of cancer patients undergoing radiation therapy. Strategies have also been developed to alleviate tumor hypoxia in order to radiosensitize tumors. In addition, oxygen mapping is c...
متن کاملIn vivo 1H MR spectroscopy of human head and neck lymph node metastasis and comparison with oxygen tension measurements.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Current diagnostic methods for head and neck metastasis are limited for monitoring recurrence and assessing oxygenation. 1H MR spectroscopy (1H MRS) provides a noninvasive means of determining the chemical composition of tissue and thus has a unique potential as a method for localizing and characterizing cancer. The purposes of this investigation were to measure 1H spectr...
متن کاملMonitoring of the Adult Patient on Venoarterial Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation
Venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA ECMO) provides mechanical support to the patient with cardiac or cardiopulmonary failure. This paper reviews the physiology of VA ECMO including the determinants of ECMO flow and gas exchange. The efficacy of this therapy may be determined by assessing patient hemodynamics and device flow, overall gas exchange support, markers of adequate oxy...
متن کاملNon-invasive monitoring of tissue oxygenation during laparoscopic donor nephrectomy
BACKGROUND Standard methods for assessment of organ viability during surgery are typically limited to visual cues and tactile feedback in open surgery. However, during laparoscopic surgery, these processes are impaired. This is of particular relevance during laparoscopic renal donation, where the condition of the kidney must be optimized despite considerable manipulation. However, there is no i...
