Abstract:The relationships between various inspired oxygen concentrations and the oxygen saturation of endcapillary pulmonary blooddependentonventilation perfusion and diffusing capacity – perfusion abnormalities can be estimated by means of a diagram. It lends itself to general considerations about the rational use of oxygen in patients with chronic pulmonary disease. It is shown that these considerations are highly applicable to several groups of patients in which these abnormalities have been investigated and that i… Show more
