Objective: To discuss the mechanism of severe hypoxemia that induced with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) by way of observing the effective local blood perfusion in different lung areas of ARDS rabbits.
Methods: ARDS rabbit models were established by injecting oleic acid through central vein, and the results of effective local blood perfusion in different areas of rabbit lung (upper area, abdominal area, and dorsal area of right lung)with PIM-II laser perfusion imager and arterial blood gas under different ventilation modes [large tidal volume ventilation, low tidal volume ventilation + positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP), prone position + large tidal volume ventilation, and prone position + low tidal volume ventilation + PEEP] were measured.
Results: The results of oxygenation index were significantly getting worsen after lung injury, and after receiving lung protective ventilation (including low tidal volume + PEEP, prone position + low tidal volume + PEEP), the indexes were taking a turn to the better. After lung injury, the results of effective local lung blood perfusion index (including upper area, abdominal area, and dorsal area) under right lung of ARDS rabbits decreased in the experimental ARDS groups. The results of experimental dorsal area group decreased most significantly, and the results of experimental upper area group changed most lightly. We observed that the effects of receiving low tidal volume + PEEP ventilation were not as good as prone position + low tidal volume + PEEP ventilation in the dorsal area of the rabbit lung compared to the results of effective local area lung blood perfusion index between two ventilation modes, there showed significantly differences in statistics.
Conclusion: We indicated that the one of the main mechanisms of severe hypoxemia in ARDS might be caught by the shunt between pulmonary artery and pulmonary vein just like physiological right to left shunt, which caused severe ventilation/perfusion disturbance. Both low tidal volume ventilation + PEEP and prone position + low tidal volume ventilation + PEEP had good effects on ameliorating local blood perfusion, and the effects of ventilation mode of prone position + low tidal volume ventilation +PEEP might be better.

Objective: Enhancing ventilatory effort during pulmonary function testing can help reveal flow limitations not evident in normal tidal breathing. This study aimed to assess the efficacy and tolerability of using a CO2/O2 gas mixture to enhance tidal breathing with a barometric whole-body plethysmography system in both healthy cats and those with feline lower airway disease (FLAD).
Methods: This prospective study included healthy cats and those with FLAD, which underwent pulmonary function testing and were exposed to a 10% CO2/90% O2 gas mixture in a barometric whole-body plethysmography chamber, with CO2 concentrations maintained within the target range of 5% to 10%.

Mechanical ventilation is the process through which breathing support is provided to patients who face inconvenience during respiration. During the pandemic, many people were suffering from lung disorders, which elevated the demand for mechanical ventilators. The handling of mechanical ventilators is to be done under the assistance of trained professionals and demands the selection of ideal parameters.

An understanding of intracellular mechanisms by which fentanyl and other synthetic opioids exert adverse effects on breathing is needed. Using freely moving adult male guinea pigs, we administered the nitric oxide synthase (NOS) inhibitor, L-NAME (N-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester), to determine whether nitrosyl factors, such as nitric oxide and S-nitrosothiols, play a role in fentanyl-induced respiratory depression. Ventilatory parameters were recorded by whole body plethysmography to determine the effects of fentanyl (75 μg/kg, IV) in guinea pigs that had received a prior injection of vehicle (saline), L-NAME or the inactive D-isomer, D-NAME (both at 50 μmol/kg, IV), 15 min beforehand.

Perioperative cardiac arrest (POCA) remains a major challenge in surgical settings, with low survival after cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). This study aims to identify predictive factors for 24 h survival after CPR and cause of POCA. A retrospective, single-center study was conducted on patients aged ≥18 years who experienced POCA and received CPR in the operating room or within 2 h postoperatively at Chiang Mai University Hospital from 2010 to 2019.
