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...

Ergebnisse und kritische Analyse der Adipositasbehandlung mit dem intragastralen Ballon
In 54 patients with excessive obesity a silicone balloon was implanted endoscopically into the stomach. The overweight amounted to 76% (median) by Broca's formula. The therapeutical plan included balloon-impla...

The Bronchoalveolar Surfactant System Inhibits the Cardiovascular Effects of Angiotensin II, Serotonin, and Platelet-Activating Factor
A previous study has shown that bronchoalveolar lavage fluid prevented angiotensin II receptor-mediated contraction of the isolated guinea pig ileum in an organ bath (Lachmann 1985). In this former study it wa...

Deformation Potentials for Deep Acceptor States in Cubic Semiconductors
Deformation potentials describing the splitting by uniaxial stress of bound hole states in semiconductors have been measured for the “deep” acceptors Mn and Sn in GaAs and calculated in terms of an isotropic e...
