Coronary sinus blood oxygen tension (CSpO2) and myocardial oxygen tension (MpO2) were measured simultaneously during cardiac ischemia and reperfusion. Oxygen tension was measured using a polarographic method. Myocardial ischemia caused a reduction (5 +/- 1.5%; P less than 0.05) in CSpO2 and a decrease (56.5 +/- 10.1%; P less than 0.001) in MpO2. Reperfusion induced a rapid but transient increase (35.9 +/- 4.3%; P less than 0.001) in CSpO2 above the basal state while MpO2 returned gradually to the basal state. These results indicate that CSpO2 is of little value for the detection of changes in myocardial oxygen metabolism during the initial phase (seconds) of cardiac reperfusion.

Introduction: Preclinical studies have shown that oxygen therapy can improve ischaemic brain tissue oxygen tension, reduce reperfusion injury after revascularisation, promote neuroregeneration and inhibit inflammatory responses potentially exerting a beneficial effect after endovascular treatment (EVT) in patients with acute ischaemic stroke (AIS). However, the optimal fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO) during EVT under general anaesthesia is currently unknown. Therefore, we are conducting a randomised controlled trial (RCT) to evaluate the impact of high-concentration oxygen vs low-concentration normobaric oxygen on early neurological function after EVT.

Hypoxia, a condition of oxygen tension lower than physiological level, plays a crucial role in shaping the tumor microenvironment and modulates distinct cell populations activity. The tumor suppressor PTEN regulates angiogenesis, a process involving endothelial cells (ECs). Pathological in tumors, it is crucial for growth.

Prompt emergence from general anesthesia is crucial after neurosurgical procedures, such as craniotomies, to facilitate timely neurological evaluation for identification of intraoperative complications. Delayed emergence can be caused by residual anesthetics, metabolic imbalances, and intracranial pathology, for which an eye examination can provide early diagnostic clues. The sunset sign (or setting sun sign), characterized by a downward deviation of the eyes, can be an early indicator of raised intracranial pressure (ICP) or midbrain compression, as is commonly observed in states of hydrocephalus or periaqueductal or tectal plate dysfunction.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to determine whether our new thinking guidance named OPACCUS (oxygen metabolism, perfusion, arterial tension, cardiac output, systemic congestion, unregulated host response and search for inciting illness event) with 7 questions you need to ask before shock therapy and evidences provided by critical ultrasound considering hemodynamics, the unregulated host response and inciting illness event would improve mortality in shock patients.
Design: A multicenter, prospective, observational cohort study.
Setting: Intensive care units of 20 hospitals in Southwest China.
