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.
