We studied the cardio-respiratory properties in the Japanese amberjack (Seriola quinqueradiata) during acute hypoxia exposure. Fish were exposed to three levels of hypoxia (80, 60 or 50 mmHg) for 60 min at $25^{\circ}C$. Cardiovascular parameters (cardiac output; Q, heart rate; HR, stroke volume; SV, blood pressure; $P_{DA}$) changed little from pre-exposure values during both 80 and 60 mmHg of hypoxia. During 50 mmHg of hypoxia, the fish showed a bradycardia which significantly affected Q, whereas no change in SV. $P_{DA}$ increased transiently. Arterial oxygen partial pressure ($PaO_2$) immediately reduced along with a decrease of the water oxygen partial pressure ($P_WO_2$). Arterial $O_2$ content ($CaO_2$) decreased significantly only after 60 min of 50 mmHg of hypoxia. Arterial pH (pHa) and hematocrit value (Hct) did not change significantly. Comparing the effects of different levels of hypoxia, oxygen delivery to the tissues ($Q\;{\times}\;CaO_2$) should be maintained a constant over a broad range of $P_WO_2$, however, severely depressed below 50 mmHg of hypoxia.

It is widely recognized that manipulation of body position takes advantage of the influences of gravity for improving oxygenation. The study aims to determine the effects of positioning(supine, prone, right lateral decubitus and left lateral decubitus positions) applied to the mechanically ventilatory acute respiratory failure patients on arterial oxygen partial pressure($PaO_2$), alveolar arterial oxygen tension difference($AaDO_2$), mean aterial pressure, peak inspiratory pressure and plateau pressure. Thirty two acute respiratory failure patients admitted to the medical intensive care unit at Kangnam St. Mary's Hospital, The Catholic University of Korea from March 1997 to January 1998, were divided into three groups by radiographic evidence of unilateral or bilateral lung disease. In group 1 with dominant right lung disease were twelve subjects, group 2 with dominant left lung disease had eight subjects and group 3 had twelve subjects with bilateral lung disease. The variables were measured in 30 minutes after each position of supine, prone, good lung down lateral decubitus and sick lung down lateral decubitus position. The position order was done at random by Latin squre design. The results are as follows; 1) With group 1 patients, the $PaO_2$ in the left lateral decubitus and prone position were $126.8{\pm}30.8$ mmHg and $106.7{\pm}36.8$ mmHg, respectively(p=0.0001). 2) With group 2 patients, the $PaO_2$ in the prone and the right lateral decubitus position were $121.7{\pm}44.7$ mmHg and $118.5{\pm}31.7$ mmHg, respectively (p=0.0018). 3) With group 3 patients, the $PaO_2$ was $143.6{\pm}36.6$ mmHg in the prone position (p=0.0001). 4) With group 1 patients, the $AaDO_2$ in the left lateral decubitus and the right lateral decubitus position were $178.1{\pm}29.7$ mmHg and $233.1{\pm}24.4$ mmHg, respectively(p=0.0001). 5) With group 2 patients, the $AaDO_2$ in the prone and the left lateral decubitus postion were $184.0{\pm}39.5$ mmHg and $231.0{\pm}23.9$ mmHg, respectively(p=0.0019). 6) With group 3 patients, the $AaDO_2$ in the prone and the supine postion were $377.1{\pm}35.6$ mmHg and $435.7{\pm}13.1$ mmHg, respectively (p=0.0001). 7) There were no differences among the mean arterial pressure, peak inspiratory pressure and plateau pressure for each of the supine, prone, left lateral decubitus and right lateral decubitus position. The results suggest that oxygenation may improve in mechanically ventilatory patients with unilateral lung disease when the position is good lung dependent and prone, and patients with bilateral lung disease when the position is prone without any effects on the mean arterial pressure and airway pressure. It is suggested that body positions improve ventilation/perfusion matching and oxygenation need to be specified in patient care plans.

There is a delicate balance between too little and too much supplemental oxygen exposure in premature infants. Since underuse and overuse of supplemental oxygen can harm premature infants, oxygen saturation levels must be monitored and kept at less than 95% to prevent reactive oxygen species-related diseases, such as retinopathy of prematurity and bronchopulmonary dysplasia. At the same time, desaturation below 80 to 85% must be avoided to prevent adverse consequences, such as cerebral palsy. It is still unclear what range of oxygen saturation is appropriate for premature infants; however, until the results of further studies are available, a reasonable target for pulse oxygen saturation ($SpO_2$) is 90 to 93% with an intermittent review of the correlation between $SpO_2$ and the partial pressure of arterial oxygen tension ($PaO_2$). Because optimal oxygenation depends on individuals at the bedside making ongoing adjustments, each unit must define an optimal target range and set alarm limits according to their own equipment or conditions. All staff must be aware of these values and adjust the concentration of supplemental oxygen frequently.

Studies of cardiopulmonary function and acid-base balance were performed on 29 dogs during control period, during oligemic hypotension and following return of blood to the animals. Intravenous morphine and local anesthesia were used. Fifteen of the 29 animals survived the complete experiment. The 14 animals that failed to survive the experimental period died between 15 to 90 minutes after the onset of bleeding. The results were as follows. 1. The heart rate increased after the onset of bleeding and failed to return to control level following reinfusion. Stroke volume decreased markedly after bleeding and failed to recover after return of blood from the reservoir. Cardiac output also decreased during oligemic hypotension and was maintained at this level after re-infusion. Total peripheral resistance decreased significantly immediately after bleeding, however it increased soon over the pre-bleeding level. Central venous pressure decreased after the onset of bleeding and remained at lower level for the rest of the experimental period. Arterial blood pressure, clown to 40-45 mmHg by acute hemorrhage, was elevated near to control level. Left ventricular work decreased tremendously during oligemic hypotension and failed to return to control level with the re-infusion of blood. Hematocrit value showed no significant decrease after bleeding and increased after re-infusion. Hemoglobin decreased after the onset of bleeding and recovered to control value after re-infusion. 2. The respiratory rate fell rapidly after bleeding from 124 to 29 and remained at this lower level for the remainder of the experiment. The tidal volume increased after bleeding and was maintained at this level for the remainder of the experiment. The respiratory minute volume showed no significant changes throughout the experimental period. Oxygen consumption fell lightly in all animals during oligemic hypotension and returned to normal levels following re-infusion. Arterial oxygen content and arterial oxygen saturation decreased following bleeding and the values returned to normal levels after the return of blood from the reservoir The arterio-venous oxygen difference increased after the onset of bleeding. It failed to return to normal values following re-infusion. Arterial $Pco_2$ decreased in all animals after the beginning of the bleeding. Partial pressure of $Co_2$ continued to fall until re-infusion, after which the values returned toward normal. Animals became acidotic. The pH fell to lower level following bleeding. Lactic acid and lactate: pyruvate ratio also increased during same period. Arterial pH and lactic acid failed to return to control value and lactate: pyruvate ratio increased more after re-infusion. Sodium bicarbonate decreased after bleeding and returned to control value following re-infusion.

We utilized pulmonary artery pressure monitoring system in risky patients for preventing the postoperative pulmonary hypertensive crisis and for sampling the mixed venous blood. And this mixed venous blood oxygen saturation [MVSO2] or partial pressure [MVPO2]tells us many meaningful patients state. We selected 59 cyanotic congenital heart diseased patients, who were operated in our hospital from Nov. 1987 to Oct. 1988, in the Department of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, Seoul National University Children\ulcorner Hospital, who had pulmonary artery pressure monitoring catheter and who made us know their mixed venous oxygen condition. We found that there was no close relationship between MVPO2 and Cardiac Index [C.I.] during early postoperative period, but on the first and second day after operation the correlation coefficient was increased as r=0.35[p=0.008], r=0.78[p=0.0001]. So we concluded that the correlation between MVPO2 and C.I. was more reliable with time going as hemodynamic stabilization. And we experienced no survivors whose MVPO2 was under 20 torr, but that was not the only factor for death. From these results, we conclude that we can consider the MVPO2 [or MVSO2] representing C.I. after stabilized postoperative condition of the open heart surgery patients, but during early postoperative period, in addition to this MVPO2, we should do also apply other parameter such as urine output, arterial blood pressure, left atrial pressure and pulmonary arterial pressure for exact estimation of the patients status.

Maximal expiratory flow-volume [MEFV] curves were studied in 22 patients who underwent pneumonectomy with various pulmonary lesions, such as lung cancer, bronchiectasis and tuberculosis etc, at the preoperative stage and 3 week, 4 month and 12 month after pneumonectomy for the analysis of the reduction and progressive improvement of postoperative ventilatory function. And the factors affecting them like as age difference and the site of pneumonectomy were also analyzed. From these curves peak flow rate [PF R], maximal expiratory flows at 25% and 50% of expired forced vital capacity [V25, V50] and forced vital capacity [FVC] were obtained. In addition, partial pressure of oxygen and carbon dioxide in arterial blood were measured. The results were as follows; 1. The mixed type, especially obstructive type of ventilatory impairment was observed at 3 week after operation. For 1 year of postpneumonectomy FVC was increased by 12.3% of predicted compared to 2.6% of predicted V50. 2. The improvement of FVC during 1 year of postpneumonectomy showed decreasing tendency with the increase of age but the changes of V25 and V50 were unremarkable. 3. The differences of immediate postoperative reduction and progressive improvement of ventilatory capacity after right and left pneumonectomy were analyzed. The reduction of V50, V25 and FVC at 3 week of postoperation were greater in patients with right pneumonectomy [20.9%, 18.2% and 26.2% of predicted] than in patients with left pneumonectomy 16.5%, 18.2% and 18.1%]. But there was no significant difference of these values at 12 month after pneumonectomy. 4. The partial pressure of oxygen in arterial blood [$PaO_2$] was decreased by 13.6 mmHg at 3 week after pneumonectomy compared to the preoperative stage but returned to the normal range within 4 month after pneumonectomy. However, TEX>$PaCO_2$ was within the normal range during 1 year of postoperation.

Pulmonary function is the determinant of blood gas tension. However, Acid-Base disturbances can also alter partial pressures of oxygen and carbon dioxide in arterial blood. During respiratory acidosis $PO_2$ will be lowered and reverse changes will be produced during respiratory alkalosis. On the other hand, in metabolic acidosis $PO_2$ will be elevated and $PCO_2$ will be lowered by the respiratory compensation, and reverse response will be induced in metabolic alkalosis. Urinary gas tension has many influencing factors than arterial blood and difficult to estimate the tendency of its alterations. Urinary $PO_2$ and $PCO_2$ are not always identical level as venous blood. It is to be altered by blood gas tension, flow rate of urine, metabolic rate of kidney, and Acid-Base status of blood. Particularly countercurrent exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the renal medulla will make larger alteration of gas tension than venous blood. After induction of Acid-Base disturbances [disturbances] arterial and urinary $PCO_2$, $PO_2$, urinary volume, and osmolarity were determined in dogs, and the relationships between arterial and urinary $PCO_2$ , $PO_2$ Acid-Base disturbances, urinary volume, and osmolarity were investigated. 1. During the acute Metabolic and Respiratory disturbances urinary pH did not respond on respiratory origin. However, there were immediate urinary response in pH on metabolic origin. 2. Urinary $PO_2$, $PCO_2$, did not always follow arterial or venous gas tension and Acid-Base disturbance. Urinary $PCO_2$, correlate well with the urinary volume. The larger the urinary volume, $PCO_2$ lowered to the venous level. The smaller the urinary volume, urinary $PCO_2$ tends to be higher. However urinary $PO_2$ did not have any particular correlation with urinary volume. 3. Correlation between urinary $PCO_2$ and $PO_2$ were inversely proportional to arterial blood. Differences of $PCO_2$ between arterial blood and urine also did not have any particular correlation with urinary volume. This may suggest that changes on blood gas tensions can influence on urinary $PCO_2$. 4. There were eminent clear inverse correlation between urinary $PCO_2$ and osmolar concentrations of urine. Above results strongly suggest that partial pressure of gas in urine primarily depend upon counter-current exchanges in renal medullary tissues.

장기간 산소 호흡치료가 필요한 만성호흡부전증 환자에서 가정내 산소 농축기의 사용은 이미 보편화 되어있고 적응 및 사용빈도도 증가추세에 있다. 본 연구팀이 최근 개발한 국산 산소농축기의 성능검사와 보완점을 찾기위해 이미 시판되어 사용중인 외국산 산소농축기(FOR LIFE\ulcorner, Air Sep Corp. USA)와 비교 분석하여 효용성 및 안정성을 검증하고자 하였다. 기계적 성능 시험으로는 제작한 시제품과 외굿산 산소농축기를 4시간 연속 작동후 발생되는 산소농도를 측정하였으며, 동물실험은 잡견 16마리를 각 군당 8마리씩 A군, B군으로 나누어 A군은 외국산 산소농축기로, B군은 자체 개발한 산소농축기로 분당 5 리터의 산소를 공급하여 기본활력증후, 동맥혈 가스분석 및 혈액 화학 검사 등을 검사하였다. 4시간 연속 작동후 발생하는 산소 농도는 외산 98$\pm$3%, 국산 91$\pm$1 %로 외산이 우수하였다. 동물실험에서 산소 공급후 1, 2, 3, 4시간에 산소마스크 주입구에서 측정한 산소 농도는 A군에서 각각 70.6$\pm$2.5%, 67.1$\pm$2.9%, 68.2$\pm$2.6%, 64.9$\pm$3.9%, B군에서는 65.1$\pm$4.8%, 65.2$\pm$3.6%, 68.7$\pm$4.3%, 66.0$\pm$5.0%로 두 군간에 유의한 차이를 보이지 않았으며 (반복측정 분산분석 p=0.70), 산소투여 전 및 투여 후 1, 2, 3, 4 시간의 동맥혈 산소분압은 A군에서 각각 87.2$\pm$2.5 mmHg, 347.4$\pm$29.3 mmHg, 353.4$\pm$21.2 mmHg, 343.0$\pm$28.8 mmHg, 321.6$\pm$24.4 mmHg, B군에서 각각 102.5$\pm$9.6 mmHg, 300.3$\pm$17.1 mmHg, 321.6$\pm$23.7 mmHg, 303.4$\pm$27.4 mmHg, 273.5$\pm$25.9 mmHg로 비록 통계적 유의성은 없었으나(p=0.24) 외산 산소 농축기를 사용한 군에서 동맥혈 산소분압이 다소 높은 경향을 보였다. 이상으로부터 본연구팀이 현재 개발중인 국산 산소 농축기의 시제품의 성능을 시험한 결과 외산 산소 농축기와 비교하여 비교적 만족스러운 성능을 보였으나 소음, 내구성 등의 개선할 부분이 지적되었다.

Cardiovascular changes caused by $CO_2$ pneumoperitoneum during laparoscopic ovariohysterectomy (LOVH) were measured in nine healthy mixed breed dogs ($16.7{\pm}4.6kg$). The dogs were premedicated with the combination of atropine, acepromazine, and butorphanol. General anesthesia was induced with propofol and maintained with isoflurane in oxygen. Controlled ventilation maintained partial pressure of end-tidal $CO_2$ between 35-45 mmHg. The $CO_2$ pneumoperitoneum was maintained at a constant pressure of 12 mmHg and the dog was placed in the $15^{\circ}$ Trendelenburg position as LOVH was performed. Dorsal pedal artery was catheterized for measurements of heart rate (HR) and invasive arterial blood pressure (IBP). Prior to the intraperitoneal insufflation, baseline measurements of HR and IBP were made every minute for a total of 10 min. Then, measurements of HR and IBP were made every 5 min following intraperitoneal insufflation and were also made every 5 min following desufflation for a total of 10 min. The $CO_2$ pneumoperitoneum during LOVH resulted in a significant (P < 0.05) increase in systolic arterial blood pressure at the time of the onset of insufflation. In addition, diastolic and mean arterial blood pressure increased significantly (P < 0.05) at the time of the onset of insufflation and 5 min following insufflation. The mean heart rate did not change significantly during LOVH. Although IBP showed sharp initial rise following the $CO_2$ pneumoperitoneum, the changes were within physiological acceptable limits in these healthy, ventilated dogs.
