Abstract Background: Optimal ventilation during cardio-pulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is still controversial. Ventilation is expected to provide sufficient arterial oxygen content and adequate carbon dioxide removal, while minimizing the risk of circulatory impairment. The objective of the present study was to compare three ventilation strategies in a porcine model during mechanical continuous chest compressions (CCC) according to arterial oxygenation and hemodynamic impact. MethodVentricular fibrillation was induced and followed by five no-flow minutes and thirty low-flow minutes resuscitation with mechanical-CCC without vasopressive drugs administration. Three groups of eight Landras pig were randomized according to the ventilation strategy: i) Standard volume-control mode (SD-group); ii) bi-level pressure mode (CPV-group); iii) continuous insufflation with Boussignac Cardiac-Arrest Device (BC-group). We assessed i) arterial blood gases, ii) macro hemodynamics, iii) tissular cerebral macro and micro-circulation and iiii) airway pressure, minute ventilation at baseline and every five minutes during the protocol. Results: Arterial PaO2 level was higher at each measurement time in SD-group (>200mmHg) compare to CPV-group and BC-group (p<0.01). In BC-group, arterial PaCO2 level was significantly higher (>90mmHg) than in SD and CPV groups (p<0.01). There was no difference between groups concerning hemodynamic parameters, cerebral perfusion and microcirculation. Conclusion: Ventilation modalities in this porcine model of prolonged CPR influence oxygenation and decarboxylation without impairing circulation and cerebral perfusion.

Arterial oxygen (Pao2) and carbon dioxide (Paco2) tensions and inspired minute ventilation were measured during the first 2 min of stair-climbing exercise in nine normal subjects. The subjects climbed a staircase at a rate of approximately 9 m vertical height every minute and arterial blood was drawn from an indwelling cannula at 15-s intervals. Large falls in Pao2 from a resting value of 92 +/- 2.0 (mean +/- SE) Torr to a lowest value of 65 +/- 3.4 Torr were recorded in the first 50 s of exercise while Paco2 oscillated around the resting value. Most subjects demonstrated an initial plateau of Pao2 for at least 7 s followed by a rapid fall and subsequent rise toward the resting level after 1 min. The falls in Pao2 measured were larger than those reported for laboratory exercise. The possible reasons for this discrepancy are discussed.

With measured values of arterial blood gas tensions, of expired respiratory gas fractions, and volume of the expired ventilation, the determinants of alveolar oxygen tension (PAO2) were used to evaluate their influence on the development of the arterial hypoxemia that occurs in spontaneously breathing patients undergoing hemodialysis using an acetate dialysate. Dialysis produced no significant changes in the alveolar-arterial O2 tension gradient (AaDO2). The extracorporeal dialyzer removed an average of 30 ml.m-2.min-1 of CO2. Accordingly the pulmonary gas exchange ratio (R) dropped from a mean predialysis value of 0.81 to 0.62 (P less than 0.001). The arterial CO2 tension remained constant throughout, whereas the minute ventilation, both total (P less than 0.01) and alveolar (P less than 0.01), decreased during dialysis. This decrease in ventilation accounts for more than 80% of the fall in PAO2. During dialysis there was a decrease (P less than 0.001) in arterial oxygen tension (PaO2), which varied among the individuals from 9 to 23% of control. During the postdialysis hour PaO2 returns to control values concomitant with increase in ventilation. The quantitative gas exchange relationships among R, alveolar ventilation, and AaDO2 predict the PaO2 values actually measured.

AbstractRecently, maintaining a certain oxygen saturation measured by pulse oximetry (SpO2) range in mechanically ventilated patients was recommended; attaching the INTELLiVENT-ASV to ventilators might be beneficial. We evaluated the SpO2 measurement accuracy of a Nihon Kohden and a Masimo monitor compared to actual arterial oxygen saturation (SaO2). SpO2 was simultaneously measured by a Nihon Kohden and Masimo monitor in patients consecutively admitted to a general intensive care unit and mechanically ventilated. Bland–Altman plots were used to compare measured SpO2 with actual SaO2. One hundred mechanically ventilated patients and 1497 arterial blood gas results were reviewed. Mean SaO2 values, Nihon Kohden SpO2 measurements, and Masimo SpO2 measurements were 95.7%, 96.4%, and 96.9%, respectively. The Nihon Kohden SpO2 measurements were less biased than Masimo measurements; their precision was not significantly different. Nihon Kohden and Masimo SpO2 measurements were not significantly different in the “SaO2 < 94%” group (P = 0.083). In the “94% ≤ SaO2 < 98%” and “SaO2 ≥ 98%” groups, there were significant differences between the Nihon Kohden and Masimo SpO2 measurements (P < 0.0001; P = 0.006; respectively). Therefore, when using automatically controlling oxygenation with INTELLiVENT-ASV in mechanically ventilated patients, the Nihon Kohden SpO2 sensor is preferable.Trial registration UMIN000027671.

Background: COVID-19 is an emerging infectious disease, that is heavily challenging health systems worldwide. Admission Arterial Blood Gas (ABG) and Lung Ultrasound (LUS) can be of great help in clinical decision making, especially during the current pandemic and the consequent overcrowding of the Emergency Department (ED). The aim of the study was to demonstrate the capability of alveolar-to-arterial oxygen difference (AaDO2) in predicting the need for subsequent oxygen support and survival in patients with COVID-19 infection, especially in the presence of baseline normal PaO2/FiO2 ratio (P/F) values. Methods: A cohort of 223 swab-confirmed COVID-19 patients underwent clinical evaluation, blood tests, ABG and LUS in the ED. LUS score was derived from 12 ultrasound lung windows. AaDO2 was derived as AaDO2 = ((FiO2) (Atmospheric pressure − H2O pressure) − (PaCO2/R)) − PaO2. Endpoints were subsequent oxygen support need and survival. Results: A close relationship between AaDO2 and P/F and between AaDO2 and LUS score was observed (R2 = 0.88 and R2 = 0.67, respectively; p < 0.001 for both). In the subgroup of patients with P/F between 300 and 400, 94.7% (n = 107) had high AaDO2 values, and 51.4% (n = 55) received oxygen support, with 2 ICU admissions and 10 deaths. According to ROC analysis, AaDO2 > 39.4 had 83.6% sensitivity and 90.5% specificity (AUC 0.936; p < 0.001) in predicting subsequent oxygen support, whereas a LUS score > 6 showed 89.7% sensitivity and 75.0% specificity (AUC 0.896; p < 0.001). Kaplan–Meier curves showed different mortality in the AaDO2 subgroups (p = 0.0025). Conclusions: LUS and AaDO2 are easy and effective tools, which allow bedside risk stratification in patients with COVID-19, especially when P/F values, signs, and symptoms are not indicative of severe lung dysfunction.

1. In a series of rats subjected to hemorrhage and shock a high negative correlation was found between the portal and peripheral venous oxygen saturations and the arterial blood pressure on the one hand, and the blood amino nitrogen levels on the other, and a high positive correlation between the portal and the peripheral oxygen saturations and between each of these and the blood pressure. 2. In five cats subjected to hemorrhage and shock the rise in plasma amino nitrogen and the fall in peripheral and portal venous oxygen saturations were confirmed. Further it was shown that the hepatic vein oxygen saturation falls early in shock while the arterial oxygen saturation showed no alteration except terminally, when it may fall also. 3. Ligation of the hepatic artery in rats did not affect the liver's ability to deaminate amino acids. Hemorrhage in a series of hepatic artery ligated rats did not produce any greater rise in the blood amino nitrogen than a similar hemorrhage in normal rats. The hepatic artery probably cannot compensate to any degree for the decrease in portal blood flow in shock. 4. An operation was devised whereby the viscera and portal circulation of the rat were eliminated and the liver maintained only on its arterial circulation. The ability of such a liver to metabolize amino acids was found to be less than either the normal or the hepatic artery ligated liver and to have very little reserve. 5. On complete occlusion of the circulation to the rat liver this organ was found to resist anoxia up to 45 minutes. With further anoxia irreversible damage to this organ's ability to handle amino acids occurred. 6. It is concluded that the blood amino nitrogen rise during shock results from an increased breakdown of protein in the peripheral tissues, the products of which accumulate either because they do not circulate through the liver at a sufficiently rapid rate or because with continued anoxia intrinsic damage may occur to the hepatic parenchyma so that it cannot dispose of amino acids.

Continuous monitoring of oxygenation in sick newborns is vitally important. However, transcutaneous Po2 measurements have a number of limiations. Therefore, we report the use of the pulse oximeter for arterial oxygen saturation (Sao2) determination in 26 infants (birth weights 725 to 4,000 g, gestational ages 24 to 40 weeks, and postnatal ages one to 49 days). Fetal hemoglobin determinations were made on all infants and were repeated following transfusion. Sao2, readings from the pulse oximeter were compared with the Sao2 measured in vitro on simultaneously obtained arterial blood samples. The linear regression equation for 177 paired measurements was: y = 0.7x + 27.2; r = .9. However, the differences between measured Sao2 and the pulse oximeter Sao2 were significantly greater in samples with &gt; 50% fetal hemoglobin when compared with samples with &lt; 25% fetal hemoglobin (P &lt; .001). The pulse oximeter was easy to use, recorded trends in oxygenation instantaneously, and was not associated with skin injury. We conclude that pulse oximetry is a reliable technique for the continuous, noninvasive monitoring of oxygenation in newborn infants.

We studied nine healthy preterm infants during the first 35 days of life to define the relationship between periodic breathing, apnea, and hypoxia. For this purpose we compared ventilation/apnea (V/A), minute ventilation, and alveolar and capillary blood gases during periodic breathing induced by hypoxia and during spontancous periodic breathing in room air. We induced periodic breathing by giving the baby in sequence 21, 19, 17, and 15% O2 to breathe for 5 minutes each, and also by giving 21, 15, and 21% O2. We measured ventilation with a nosepiece and a screen flowmeter. With a decrease in arterial oxygen tension, preterm infants (1) hypoventilated, (2) breathed periodically more frequently, and (3) showed a decrease in V/A due to an increase in the apneic interval. In one baby this led to apnea lasting 30 seconds. These findings support our hypothesis that preterm infants breathing periodically hypoventilate and suggest that hypoxia may be a primary event leading to periodic breathing and apnea.

The purpose of this study was 1) to test the hypothesis that ventilation and arterial oxygen saturation (SaO2 ) during acute hypoxia may increase during intermittent hypoxia and remain elevated for a week without hypoxic exposure and 2) to clarify whether the changes in ventilation and SaO2 during hypoxic exercise are correlated with the change in hypoxic chemosensitivity. Six subjects were exposed to a simulated altitude of 4,500 m altitude for 7 days (1 h/day). Oxygen uptake (V˙o 2), expired minute ventilation (V˙e), and SaO2 were measured during maximal and submaximal exercise at 432 Torr before (Pre), after intermittent hypoxia (Post), and again after a week at sea level (De). Hypoxic ventilatory response (HVR) was also determined. At both Post and De, significant increases from Pre were found in HVR at rest and in ventilatory equivalent for O2(V˙e/V˙o 2) and SaO2 during submaximal exercise. There were significant correlations among the changes in HVR at rest and inV˙e/V˙o 2 and SaO2 during hypoxic exercise during intermittent hypoxia. We conclude that 1 wk of daily exposure to 1 h of hypoxia significantly improved oxygenation in exercise during subsequent acute hypoxic exposures up to 1 wk after the conditioning, presumably caused by the enhanced hypoxic ventilatory chemosensitivity.

The cardiovascular adjustments associated with elevated metabolic demand caused by rising body temperature were investigated in Coluber constrictor. From 16 to 35 degrees C, O2 consumption increased roughly ninefold. Systemic blood flow, determined by the Fick method, increased approximately 4.5-fold and arteriovenous O2 difference increased approximately 2-fold. Heart rate steadily increased over the temperature range examined. At the cooler temperatures stroke volume also increased but, above approximately 25 degrees C, stroke volume declined with rising temperature. The changes in stroke volume may result from the direct effect of temperature on myocardial contractility. The thermal dependence of blood convection requirement in C. constrictor is similar to changes in air convection requirement determined in a previous study. Consequently the minute ventilation-to-perfusion ratio appears to be independent of temperature, at least from 20 to 35 degrees C. Systemic arterial blood pressure increases with rising body temperature due to the rise in cardiac output, whereas vascular resistance declines. Blood pressure in snakes disturbed by the investigator is roughly two times higher than in resting animals at all temperatures studied. This marked change in blood pressure suggests an "alarm reaction" mediated by the sympathetic nervous system.
