Example sentences for: oxygenation
How can you use “oxygenation” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
In the majority of patients, a major improvement in arterial oxygenation can be obtained with NO concentrations < 5 ppm [ 4, 9, 10, 11].
Prior studies have shown variability in the use of therapeutic modalities (including PACs, ventilator, and intravenous vasoactive and inotropic agents) among ICU patients [ 21 27 ] and different impacts on outcomes and use of hospital resources associated with these treatments [ 16 17 18 28 29 ] . In general, with the exception of the recent trial demonstrating benefit of early goal-directed treatment involving oxygenation (including ventilatory support if necessary) and blood pressure (including intravenous pressors if necessary) [ 30 ] , few data are available that demonstrate that these modalities improve outcomes.
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.
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.
By analogy with the dose-response curves obtained in patients on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, it can be hypothesized that the presence of large amounts of circulating pulmonary vasoconstrictors in these patients led to the need for greater NO concentrations.
