The partial pressures of oxygen and carbon dioxide of the arterial blood were examined under strictly standardized conditions. The relationship of PaO2 to age was found as YR = -0.40 age + 96.2 and PaCO2 to age as YR = 0.03 age + 36.0. Furthermore, a correlation between PaCO2 and PaO2 could be calculated as YR = -0.073 PaO2 + 43.0. An estimation of PaO2 by biometrical data is given: YR= -0.39 age – 0.02 weight (kg) + 0.06 height (cm) + 85.9. The casual relations between blood partial pressures and age will be discussed in details.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
