In practically healthy people on the background of self-breathing, we used catheterization to obtain blood samples from Ao, PT, SC, VJI, SS, VH and VR. We believe that the standard tests of blood gases by volume (pO 2 and pCO 2 ) and their A-V gradients, quantitatively determined, are insufficient to fully assess the hypoxic states both in the whole organism and in individual organs. To estimate gas homeokinesis, we performed integral gas tests, including an additive criterion of blood gases-pressure in mmHg: 1) the summary pressure of the plasma gases, PS; 2) Gas functional, the gradient between the total indices of arterial and vein gases (Gradient D); and 3) the exchange gradient, Gradient DP [(arterial pO 2 -venous (pO 2 +pCO 2 )]. Each test indicator at all studied points was determined in mmHg. Correlation analyses were carried out between the parameters of all tests.We found that the processes forming PS limit the amplitude of the PS deviation under changing parameters of the constituent components (pO 2 and pCO 2 ) due to acts of mutual replacement between them, as well as the influence of integral gas complexes under shifts in pO 2 , pCO 2 , A-V SO 2 . Unlike the generally accepted tests that record quantitative differences between the points studied, the integral gas tests allow us to identify vectors and mechanisms of adaptive changes in gas homeostasis, to perform a qualitative comparison of the functioning of the studied organs by gas-dynamic tests in the norm and in pathology.

Methods and ResultsWith the patient in the supine position, we used catheterization to obtain blood samples from the outflow vessels of the three-chamber block of ventricles (Ao, PT, SC), VJI, VH, and VR.(1) To investigate general and organ gas exchange, in normal practice, we used data for temporal dynamics arterial and venous blood and their A-V gradients. In our opinion, the separately taken values of pO 2 and pCO 2 are changed quantitatively (in absolute values) and are inadequate for evaluating polyorganic hypoxic states, since the use of the general average values does not reveal qualitative changes that characterize and explain the so-called mutual replacements of PO 2 and pCO 2 at varying ratios of the levels of pO 2 and pCO 2 (the biophysical equivalent of the Haldane effect) in the investigated areas of the human b...
