چکیده

Excess carbohydrate calories in total parenteral nutrition (TPN) solutions can precipitate acute hypercapnic respiratory failure in patients with chronic lung disease secondary to increased carbon dioxide (CO2) production. Two young patients recovering from the adult respiratory distress syndrome experienced hypercapnia during weaning as a result of nutritionally related increased CO2 production. As carbohydrate calories were decreased, CO2 production diminished and hypercapnia resolved. Hypercapnia as a complication of nutritional support during weaning can occur in patients without chronic lung disease and is corrected by decreasing carbohydrate calories.

Role of right heart catheterization.

especially in medical patients with respiratory failure. Because of these data limitations, we do not believe that undue reliance on formulas and guidelines alone will prevent nutritional complications. Our case report illustrated the problem ofweaning difficulties due to nutritionally associated hypercapnia in a patient population not commonly thought to be susceptible to this problem. We feel...

Quantitative evaluation of hemodynamic parameters during acute alveolar hypoxia and hypercapnia in the isolated ventilated-perfused rabbit lung

Introduction: Acute respiratory disorders such as obstructive pulmonary diseases and hypoventilation may lead to alveolar hypoxia and hypercapnia which their effects on pulmonary vascular beds are controversial. The aim of this study was to establish the isolated perfused lung setup and investigate the effects of alveolar hypoxia and hypercapnia on pulmonary vascular resistance. Methods: White ...

Diaphragmatic strength during weaning from mechanical ventilation.

Respiratory muscle weakness is considered to be a factor in the inability to wean from mechanical ventilation. To assess this possibility, the present study examined the mechanical behavior of the diaphragm by measuring the change in transdiaphragmatic pressure (delta Pdi) during weaning. Nine "T-piece" weanings were carried out in seven patients with prior weaning failure and were terminated w...

CARDIOVASCULAR RESPONSES TO HYPERCAPNIA AND VARYING LEVELS OF ARTERIAL pH IN THE ANESTHETIZED CAT

Effects of acute hypercapnia on the cardiovascular system (CYS) were studied in the anesthetized cat. After surgery the animal was exposed to a gas mixture of 12% CO2 and 25% O2 in nitrogen, and hypercapnia with low levels of arterial pH (pHa) was produced for 20 minutes. In the second run the same level of hypercapnia was induced by ventilating the same cat from the above gas mixture but ...
