Extract: Serial studies of arterial and alveolar oxygen, carbon dioxide, and nitrogen tensions, arterial pH, and ratios of dead space: tidal volume were made in 24 nondistressed premature infants. By ...

In patients with autoimmune pulmonary alveolar proteinosis, the use of inhaled recombinant granulocyte–macrophage colony-stimulating factor resulted in a significantly better alveolar–arterial oxygen ...

The mechanical properties of the human lung are embodied in the relationship between lung pressure (P) and volume (V) as represented by the P–V curve. This relationship has been extensively explored ...

The aspects to be considered include the occurrence and mechanisms of arterial oxygen unsaturation, hyperventilation and factors affecting the level of arterial carbon dioxide tension. Such data ...

You have millions of air sacs (alveoli) in your lungs. These air sacs move oxygen into your blood. Alveolar walls contain surfactant. This is a substance made of fats, proteins, and other substances.
