2. Blood gas tension - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood_gas_tension

   Carbon dioxide is a by-product of food metabolism and in high amounts has toxic effects including: dyspnea, acidosis and altered consciousness. [8] Arterial blood carbon dioxide tension. P a CO 2 – Partial pressure of carbon dioxide at sea level in arterial blood is between 35 mmHg and 45 mmHg. [9] Venous blood carbon dioxide tension

3. Carbon monoxide poisoning - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon_monoxide_poisoning

   Carbon monoxide poisoning in pregnant women may cause severe adverse fetal effects. Poisoning causes fetal tissue hypoxia by decreasing the release of maternal oxygen to the fetus. Carbon monoxide also crosses the placenta and combines with fetal hemoglobin, causing more direct fetal tissue hypoxia.

4. Diffusing capacity for carbon monoxide - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diffusing_capacity_for...

   This test involves measuring the partial pressure difference between inspired and expired carbon monoxide. It relies on the strong affinity and large absorption capacity of red blood cells for carbon monoxide and thus demonstrates gas uptake by the capillaries that are less dependent on cardiac output. [3]

5. Diffusing capacity - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diffusing_capacity

   Carbon monoxide (CO) is tightly and rapidly bound to hemoglobin in the blood, so the partial pressure of CO in the capillaries is negligible and the second term in the denominator can be ignored. For this reason, CO is generally the test gas used to measure the diffusing capacity and the D L {\displaystyle D_{L}} equation simplifies to:

6. Hypoxia (medicine) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypoxia_(medicine)

   As carbon monoxide binds with hemoglobin hundreds of times tighter than oxygen, it can prevent the carriage of oxygen. [68] Carbon monoxide poisoning can occur acutely, as with smoke intoxication, or over a period of time, as with cigarette smoking. Due to physiological processes, carbon monoxide is maintained at a resting level of 4–6 ppm.

8. Arterial blood gas test - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arterial_blood_gas_test

   The blood can also be drawn from an arterial catheter. An ABG test measures the blood gas tension values of the arterial partial pressure of oxygen (PaO2), and the arterial partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PaCO2), and the blood's pH. In addition, the arterial oxygen saturation (SaO2) can be determined. Such information is vital when caring ...
