Influences of Different Routinely Used Muscle Relaxants on Oxygen Delivery to and Oxygen Consumption by the Heart During Xenon-Anesthesia
To date there are no known studies in which the influence of routinely used muscle relaxants on the heart metabolism were studied, avoiding the cardiodepressive effects of halothane in combination with nitrous...

Improved Arterial Oxygenation and CO2 Elimination Following Changes from Volume-Generated Peep Ventilation with Inspiratory/Expiratory(I/E) Ratio of 1:2 to Pressure-Generated Ventilation with I/E Ratio of 4:1 in Patients with Severe Adult Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS)
In earlier investigations we found that in severe ARDS caused by bilateral lung lavages in adult rabbits and dogs, the arterial oxygenation increases when constant pressure-generated ventilation with decelerat...

Evaluation of a Heparin-Coated PO2 Electrode for Continuous Intravasal PO2 Monitoring
Intensive care units always require continuous PaO2 monitoring to enable fast and proper ventilator adjustment to patients need. Conventional bloodsampling techniques followed by bloodgas analysis are not able to...

Effects of Different Inspiratory/Expiratory (I/E) Ratios and Peep-Ventilation on Blood Gases and Hemodynamics in Dogs with Severe Respiratory Distress Syndrome (RDS)
Despite great advances in the treatment of acute respiratory failure, many patients do not respond to accepted methods of resuscitation. The great majority of these critically ill patients fall into the catego...

The Influence of Different Anesthetics on the Oxygen Delivery to and Consumption of the Heart
It is well known that some routinely used anesthetics, e.g. halothane, have a severely depressive effect on the cardiovascular system (1,2,3). These depressive effects include: decreased myocardial contractili...
