Partial Pressure Of Oxygen

Laparoscopic surgical techniques are increasingly being applied to treat cholelithiasis and other indications of gallbladder diseases. These procedures however are not without potential morbidity. Herein we describe two patients treated with laparoscopic cholecystectomy; those cases were complicated with subcutaneous emphysema and hypercarbia per-operatively. After discontinuation of pneumoperitoneum, saturation of partial pressure of oxygen (SpO2) gradually increased with improvement of the neck subcutaneous emphysema, at the same time the lung ventilation also improved. Our findings show that we have to stop pneumoperitoneum or decrease partial pressure of end carbon dioxide level immediately, when we find a sudden increase of the peak airway pressure or decrease SpO2 with subcutaneous emphysema during laparoscopic cholecystectomy.   doi: 10.3329/taj.v21i1.3225 TAJ 2008; 21(1): 77-79

Mild Hypoxia

SUMMARY Eight men, 19-35 years of age, breathed 20·9% (normal oxygen), 13·9% (mild hypoxia) or 11·1% (severe hypoxia) oxygen in nitrogen gas mixtures during three 20 min periods, which were separated by 1 h recovery periods. The order in which the gas mixtures were breathed was random. The partial pressure of oxygen decreased from a mean of 93·5 during exposure to normal oxygen to 53·9 and 36·7 mmHg during mild and severe hypoxia respectively. There were corresponding decreases in haemoglobin saturation. The partial pressure of carbon dioxide was lower and the pH higher during severe hypoxia than during exposure to normal oxygen. There were no changes in the plasma osmolality or in the concentrations of sodium or potassium in the plasma. There was a tendency for both the renin activity and the concentration of aldosterone in the plasma to decrease progressively as the percentage of oxygen breathed decreased. Unlike severe hypoxia, mild hypoxia suppressed the concentration of antidiuretic hormone (ADH) in the plasma of all subjects by about 59%; during severe hypoxia the reduction was not significant, being only about 33%. These data are consistent with the suggestion that the effect of hypoxia on the release of ADH is dependent on the level of hypoxia.

Different Levels

Oxygen consumption was determined in relation to spontaneous activity and standard metabolism estimated by extrapolating the values to zero activity, Standard oxygen consumption was determined in relation to different partial pressures of carbon dioxide and oxygen for brook trout. Salvelinus fontinalis (Mitchill), at 10 °C, and carp, Cyprinus carpio Linnaeus, at 25 °C. In general, at each partial pressure of oxygen applied, standard oxygen consumption did not change significantly over the range of partial pressures of carbon dioxide followed. The relation for brook trout operated on a level characteristic of the partial pressure of oxygen. Although the effect of different levels of oxygen was not established for carp at 25 °C, it is presumed that the relation operated also in that species in a similar way.Acclimation to the different levels of carbon dioxide and oxygen to be tested was examined and, ordinarily, found not to change significantly the standard rate of oxygen consumption.

Alveolar Gas Exchange

Solution of an equation for alveolar gas exchange during underwater ascent indicates that alveolar carbon dioxide tension should remain constant and normal during ascent owing to the expansion of gases in the lungs. Alveolar gas samples were obtained before and at the end of buoyant ascent from a depth of 90 ft of water. The partial pressure of alveolar carbon dioxide at the end was approximately equal to that at the beginning, as predicted, and the partial pressure of oxygen indicated that the arterial saturation would be almost normal. These findings indicate that buoyant ascents can be made from a depth of at least 90 ft without breathing and without urgency to breathe. Extrapolation of these findings indicates that during ascents from much greater depths there should be little or no urgency to breathe. Submitted on August 8, 1962
