تنفس یکی از اساسی ترین نیازهای انسان است که در صورت عدم تأمین این نیاز، حیات انسان چند دقیقه ای بیشتر ادامه نخواهد یافت. اهمیت این فعالیت حیاتی از تأثیر آن بر تغذیه سلولها به عنوان کوچکترین واحد سازنده بدن انسان نشأت می گیرد، زیرا اکسیژن یکی از مواد ضروری برای سلولها می باشد و کسب این ماده حیاتی فقط از طریق تنفس مناسب و راحت امکان پذیر است .
Ahmed et al1 reported an interesting case of Wegener granulomatosis with diffuse alveolar hemorrhage in a 26-year-old woman. The patient was urgently intubated, sedated, paralyzed, and maintained on 100% oxygen and a positive end-expiratory pressure as high as 18 cm H2O. Despite
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Nocturnal hypoxemia is highly prevalent among patients with CKD. Nocturnal hypoxemia contributes to systemic inflammation, oxidative stress, endothelial cell dysfunction, and activation of the renin-angiotensin system, which are common pathologic mechani
Anesthetized dogs were studied to characterize the renal hemodynamic response to acute, transient hypoxemia and to determine the role of renal prostaglandins (PGE and PGF) in that response. Acute hypoxemia of 10 minutes duration (mean arterial Po2 32 ± 9 torr) induced a reversibl
BACKGROUND We aimed to investigate the relationship between increased free fatty acid (FFA) level and early postoperative hypoxemia after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). METHODS Ninety-eight consecutive patients undergoing CABG were enrol
BACKGROUND Perceived sleep quality may play an important role in diagnosis and therapy for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). However, few studies have assessed factors that are associated with perceived sleep quality in OSA patients. Hypoxemia depresses the central nervous system an
