  2. Carbon dioxide angiography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon_dioxide_angiography

    When added together by DSA “stacking” software, [5] the result is a composite diagnostic image of the frames. Carbon dioxide is highly soluble, allowing multiple injections without a maximum dosage (per procedure, while it is 100 mL per injection by the literature), but, in case of multiple injections, should be considered and adequate time ...

  3. Septic shock - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Septic_shock

    Septic shock is a result of a systemic response to infection or multiple infectious causes. The precipitating infections that may lead to septic shock if severe enough include but are not limited to appendicitis, pneumonia, bacteremia, diverticulitis, pyelonephritis, meningitis, pancreatitis, necrotizing fasciitis, MRSA and mesenteric ischemia.

  4. Capnography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capnography

    Oxygenation and capnography, although related, remain distinct elements in the physiology of respiration. Ventilation refers to the mechanical process of which the lungs expand and exchange volumes of gasses, however respiration further describes the exchange of gasses (mainly CO

  5. Multiple organ dysfunction syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiple_organ_dysfunction...

    Both SIRS and sepsis could ultimately progress to multiple organ dysfunction syndrome. In one-third of the patients, however, no primary focus can be found. [1] Multiple organ dysfunction syndrome is well established as the final stage of a continuum: SIRS + infection → sepsis → severe sepsis → Multiple organ dysfunction syndrome.

  6. Metabolic acidosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metabolic_acidosis

    Metabolic acidosis is a serious electrolyte disorder characterized by an imbalance in the body's acid-base balance.Metabolic acidosis has three main root causes: increased acid production, loss of bicarbonate, and a reduced ability of the kidneys to excrete excess acids. [5]

  7. Respiratory failure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Respiratory_failure

    Respiratory failure is classified as either Type 1 or Type 2, based on whether there is a high carbon dioxide level, and can be acute or chronic. In clinical trials, the definition of respiratory failure usually includes increased respiratory rate , abnormal blood gases (hypoxemia, hypercapnia, or both), and evidence of increased work of breathing.

  8. Thrombocytopenia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thrombocytopenia

    Treatment is guided by the severity and specific cause of the disease. Treatment focuses on eliminating the underlying problem, whether that means discontinuing drugs suspected to cause it or treating underlying sepsis. Diagnosis and treatment of serious thrombocytopenia is usually directed by a hematologist.

    English: This chart plots the absorption coefficient of water vapor and carbon dioxide, for electromagnetic radiation with wavenumber values (i.e., frequency divided by the speed of light) in the range 200-1600 cm-1 (wavelengths in the range 6.25-50 microns).
