Words similar to qsp

Example sentences for: qsp

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

CI = cardiac index; PaO 2 = arterial oxygen tension; PVRI = pulmonary vascular resistance index; Qsp/Qt = shunt fraction; SVI = stroke volume index; SVRI = systemic vascular resistance index.
In such conditions, apart from changes in the Qsp/Qt, the decrease in PaO 2 may be caused by effects of maldistribution in the ventilation/perfusion ratio.
· Pruritus is also associated with a slight but significant reduction in PaO 2 and increase in Qsp/Qt.
PaO 2 and arterial carbon dioxide tension, arterial oxygen saturation and Qsp/Qt did not change significantly in patients of subgroups A1, B1, B2, and group B throughout the study (Tables 3, 4, 5).
The significant increase in Qsp/Qt and decrease in PaO 2 in the patients affected by pruritus can be interpreted as the effect of an imbalance in the ventilation/perfusion ratio, induced by the vasodilating action of vancomycin on the pulmonary circulation, as supported by the significant reduction in pulmonary vascular resistance at time point 3. Also, the respiratory changes were significant only in patients of group A who were not treated with a β-blocker, whereas preopera-tive use of the drug eliminated any significant respiratory change.
