Example sentences for: oxygenation

How can you use “oxygenation” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:

  • In patients with ARDS and acute pulmonary hypertension, inhaled NO has been shown to selectively dilate pulmonary vessels perfusing ventilated lung areas, and to improve arterial oxygenation [ 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9].

  • Third, PEEP opt in the study (approximately 11 cmH 2 O) was lower than levels reported in other ARDS studies [ 20 ] . Higher tidal volume (10 ml/kg) leading to higher mean airway pressure, the termination criteria used in our study, and the differences in titration technique (based on oxygenation versus pressure-volume curve) may account for this difference.

  • Similarly, in humans without ALI or ARDS, PEEP reduces splanchnic oxygenation and this is accompanied by decreases in cardiac output, albeit with no change in lactate levels [ 14 ] . Recently, Kiefer and colleagues [ 9 ] reported no change in splanchnic perfusion when PEEP was titrated on the linear portion of the pressure-volume curve in patients with ALI [ 9 ] .

  • At high concentrations, it may be that NO reaches pulmonary vessels perfusing non-ventilated lung areas and worsens arterial oxygenation by inhibiting hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction as observed in patients 1, 2, 6, 8 and 15.

  • Whereas Kiefer and colleagues used pressure-volume curves for PEEP titration, we titrated PEEP on the basis of improvement in oxygenation, which is a commonly used method in clinical practice because determination of pressure-volume curves can sometimes be cumbersome.
