[Oxygen transport in general anesthesia with ftorotan and sodium oxybutyrate]
Abstract:
The functional capacity of the oxygen transport system was studied in 51 patients subjected to the operative treatment for the complicated ulcerous disease. The general inhalation anesthesia by fluothane resulting in a decreased oxygen transport might limit the adequate metabolism. The general intravenous anesthesia by sodium hydroxybutyrate is followed by a true hypometabolic effect without any decrease in the efficiency of the cardio-vascular, system and disorders in the functional capacity of the oxygen transport system.

Respiration and Gaseous Exchange
Respiration involves the exchange of gases, especially oxygen (O2) and carbon dioxide (CO2), between the alveoli and body cells, a process facilitated by blood circulation. As a result, the cardiovascular system, which involves the...

Oxygen Delivering System I: Nasal Cannula and Face Mask
Nasal Cannula
A nasal cannula is a lightweight tube split at one end into two prongs and placed in the nostrils. It is typically used to deliver low to medium levels of oxygen.
Suggested flow rate: The suggested flow rate for a nasal cannula typically ranges between 1 and 6 L/min.
Oxygen percentage setting:...
Oxygen Delivering System II: Venturi Mask and Transtracheal Oxygen
Venturi Mask
The Venturi mask, named after the Venturi effect, is designed to deliver precise oxygen concentrations. It consists of a large tube with an oxygen inlet that narrows down, causing a pressure drop that pulls air in through adjustable side ports. The mask is a lightweight,...
Administering Oxygen by Mask
Administering oxygen by mask is a common nursing intervention that provides supplemental oxygen to patients with respiratory distress or chronic lung conditions. This procedure involves delivering oxygen at a specified rate through a face mask connected to an oxygen source.
