Non-invasive Measurement of Pulmonary Gas Exchange Efficiency: The Oxygen Deficit [PDF]
The efficiency of pulmonary gas exchange has long been assessed using the alveolar-arterial difference in PO2, the A-aDO2, a construct developed by Richard Riley ~70years ago.

A lifetime of pulmonary gas exchange. [PDF]
Pulmonary gas exchange is the primary function of the lung, and during my lifetime, its measurement has passed through many stages. When I was born, many physiologists still believed that the lung secreted oxygen. When I was a medical student, the only way we had to recognize defective gas exchange was whether the patient was cyanosed.

Hemorrhagic Shock: Blood Marker Sequencing and Pulmonary Gas Exchange [PDF]
Background: The early identification of internal hemorrhage in critically ill patients may be difficult. Besides circulatory parameters, hemoglobin and lactate concentration, metabolic acidosis and hyperglycemia serve as laboratory markers for bleeding ...

Use of Noninvasive Gas Exchange to Track pulmonary Vascular Responses to exercise in Heart Failure [PDF]
We determined whether a non-invasive gas exchange based estimate of pulmonary vascular (PV) capacitance [PV CAP = stroke volume (SV) x pulmonary arterial pressure (Ppa)] (GX CAP ) tracked the PV response to exercise in heart-failure (HF) patients ...

Modeling Pulmonary Gas Exchange and Single-Exhalation Profiles of Carbon Monoxide [PDF]
Exhaled breath carbon monoxide (eCO) is a candidate biomarker for non-invasive assessment of oxidative stress and respiratory diseases. Standard end-tidal CO analysis, however, cannot distinguish, whether eCO reflects endogenous CO production, lung ...

The Usefulness of Submaximal Exercise Gas Exchange in Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension: A Case Series [PDF]
Introduction Submaximal exercise gas exchange may be a useful tool to track responses to therapy in pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) patients. Methods Three patients diagnosed with idiopathic PAH, on differing therapies, were included.
