  • In an exercising individual the cardiovascular system plays three important roles: the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to exercising muscle, the removal of waste by-products from exercising muscle, and the dissipation of generated heat through convection. (musculoskeletalkey.com)
  • 8. Doppler measurement of systolic pressure underestimates values obtained by direct invasive measurement of arterial pressure. (vin.com)
  • Since the effects on myocardial oxygen consumption determinants were found to be less relevant than expected, 1 they were not considered to have a real advantage over commonly used nitrates. (ecrjournal.com)
  • The first section reviews the normal (gravity-determined) distribution of perfusion and ventilation, the major nongravitational determinants of resistance to perfusion and ventilation, transport of respiratory gases, and the pulmonary reflexes and special functions of the lung.

  • Common conditions which may require a baseline of supplementary oxygen include chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), chronic bronchitis, and emphysema. (wikipedia.org)
  • Inadequate pulmonary ventilation (e.g. in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease or respiratory arrest ). (wikidoc.org)
  • 2- 4 However, such a change of long established practice would also require a recognition of the risks of inappropriate high flow oxygen therapy. (bmj.com)
  • 7, 8 These effects may contribute to the reduction in lung volumes and decreased transfer factor observed with high flow oxygen. (bmj.com)
  • Perhaps the least recognised risk with high flow oxygen is that its use may lead to a delay in the ability to recognise and treat a progressive deterioration in pulmonary function. (bmj.com)
  • The risks associated with loss of respiratory drive are far outweighed by the risks of withholding emergency oxygen, so emergency administration of oxygen is never contraindicated. (wikipedia.org)
