1	Arterial blood gas: an experiment to study the effects of temperature and time delays on the outcome of a blood gas result Baker, Lynette Margaret 31 January 2008 (has links) An arterialblood gas analysis which is conducted in critical care areas contributes to the assessment of a patient's ventilatory status and acid -base balance. The purpose of this research was to determine the relationship of time delays and temperature on the result of a blood gas analysis. The objective was to either accept or refute the null hypothesis, that there is no relationship between temperature and time delays and an arterial blood gas result Fifteen subjects were randomly selected. The researcher drew three samples of arterial blood from each subject. Ethical principles were observed. An inferential non-parametric statistic was used. The chi-squared test was used to test the hypothesis and the Friedman and the Wilcoxon signed ranks test were used to test the differences between the means. The results revealed that there was a relationship between time delays, temperature and the arterial blood gas result. The null hypothesis was rejected. / Health Stusies / M.A. (Health Studies) Arterial blood gas analysis Storage temperature Time delays Partial pressure of oxygen Partial pressure of carbon dioxide 612.11 Blood gases -- Analysis

3	Successful Treatment of Respiratory Insufficiency Due to Adult Acid Maltase Deficiency With Noninvasive Positive Pressure Ventilation Puruckherr, Michael, Pooyan, Payam, Girish, Mirle R., Byrd, Ryland P., Roy, Thomas M. 01 July 2004 (has links) Acid maltase deficiency (AMD) is a rare autosomal recessive genetic disorder that results in an accumulation of glycogen in the lysosomal storage vacuoles. It is classified as a glycogen storage disease (type II) and is also known as Pompe's disease. The prognosis of the patient with AMD is poor and the main cause of death is respiratory failure. We report a female patient whose respiratory insufficiency was documented to occur most severely during rapid eye movement sleep and who benefited clinically from the institution of nocturnal noninvasive bilevel positive airway pressure. aα-G Acid α-1 4 glucosidase ABG arterial blood gas analysis AMD acid maltase deficiency BiPAP bilevel positive airway pressure CPK serum creatine kinase EMG electromyography NIPPV PFT pulmonary function tests PSG polysomnography REM rapid eye movement Internal Medicine
