We have measured total carbon dioxide in plasma with a new carbon dioxide analyzer, and compared the results with total carbon dioxide data derived from measurements of carbon dioxide tension and pH. The results agree sufficiently well to demonstrate that the new instrument provides a simple, efficient procedure for monitoring the precision and accuracy of pH, carbon dioxide tension, or total c...

On the day of surgery, heart rate (HR) was 139 bpm, noninvasive blood pressure (BP) 93/31 mmHg, SpO2 81% on room air, and temperature 36.5° C. Patient was preoxygenated with 100% O2, which increased SpO2 to 99%. Anesthesia was induced by face mask with sevoflurane in oxygen with gradual increase in concentration to 6%. Immediately after venous access was obtained, propofol 2 mg/kg-1 was adminis...

In this work, reactive absorption of gases in aqueous electrolyte solutions has been investigated resulting in the development of a procedure in order to calculate the concentrations of ionic and molecular species in the liquid phase. Two duplicate experiments were conducted to investigate simultaneous reactive absorption of ammonia and carbon dioxide in partially carbonated ammonia solutio...

background: patients undergone mechanical ventilation need rapid and reliable evaluation of their respiratory status. monitoring of end-tidal carbon dioxide (etco2) as a surrogate, noninvasive measurement of arterial carbon dioxide (paco2) is one of the methods used for this purpose in intubated patients. objectives: the aim of the present trial was to study the relationship between end-tidal c...

projected global climate change may have a major influence on crop yield. the likely effects of climate change caused by increasing atmospheric carbon dioxide levels on rice yield in iran were evaluated using a mechanistic growth model for rice, gsac-rice, running under a climate change scenario predicted for a doubled-co2 (2xco2) atmosphere by the geophysical fluid dynamics laboratory (gfd...

Clinically significant carbon dioxide embolism is a rare but potentially fatal complication of anesthesia administered during laparoscopic surgery. Its most common cause is inadvertent injection of carbon dioxide into a large vein, artery or solid organ. This error usually occurs during or shortly after insufflation of carbon dioxide into the body cavity, but may result from direct intravascula...

Atmospheric carbon dioxide has been increased and was reached approximately to 390 mg/L at December 2010 (Tans, 2011). Rising trend of carbon dioxide in past and present time may be an indicator capable of estimating the concentration of atmospheric carbon dioxide in the future. Cause for increase of atmospheric carbon dioxide was already investigated and became general knowledge for the civili...

Carbon dioxide sequestration by algae is receiving an increased attention towards the impact of increasing carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Biological carbon dioxide sequestration might be the most promising, environmental friendly & cost effective means of reducing carbon dioxide emission in the energy sector. Algae produce more oil compared to other plants and it can grown in open pond syste...

The oxygen production of a photosynthetic gas exchanger containing Chlorella pyrenoidosa (1% packed cell volume) was measured when various concentrations of carbon dioxide were present within the culture unit. The internal carbon dioxide concentrations were obtained by manipulating the entrance gas concentration and the flow rate. Carbon dioxide percentages were monitored by means of electrodes...
