Gas Monitoring and Pulse Oximetry (Butterworth-Heinemann series in chemical engineering)

An introduction to, and overview of, blood gas monitoring with particular reference to pulse oximetry. The book describes the principles behind this technology and provides instructions on when to monitor and how to interpret the data Content: Front Matter , Page i Copyright , Page ii Dedication , Page iii Preface , Pages vii-x Acknowledgments , Page xi Chapter 1 - Introduction , Pages 1-6 Chapter 2 - Primer for Gas Monitoring and Pulse Oximetry , Pages 7-17 Chapter 3 - The Water Vapor Story , Pages 19-25 Chapter 4 - Of Gas Volumes, Flows, and Time Constants , Pages 27-31 Chapter 5 - Solubility , Pages 33-40 Chapter 6 - Monitoring the Function of the Anesthesia Machine, the Breathing Circuit, and the Ventilator , Pages 41-62 Chapter 7 - Titration of Depth of Anesthesia , Pages 63-67 Chapter 8 - The Concentration Effect, Second Gas Effect, and Diffusion Hypoxia , Pages 69-72 Chapter 9 - Cardiogenic Oscillations , Pages 73-75 Chapter 10 - Before Induction , Pages 77-83 Chapter 11 - General Anesthesia , Pages 85-92 Chapter 12 - Pulse Oximetry and Monitoring of Gases in Patients under Regional or Local Anesthesia with or without Sedation , Pages 93-99 Chapter 13 - Metabolic Changes , Pages 101-104 Chapter 14 - Ventilation-Perfusion Inequalities , Pages 105-116 Chapter 15 - Methods of Gas Analysis , Pages 117-128 Chapter 16 - About Hemoglobin Saturation Measurements , Pages 129-137 Index , Pages 139-148 Gas Monitoring and Pulse Oximetry presents an extensive examination of the ventilation of the patient's lungs. It discusses the administration of oxygen and inhalation of anaesthetics of patients. It addresses the methods of oxygen and carbon dioxide monitoring. Some of the topics covered in the book are the introduction to the use of capnogram; definition of oxygraphy and anesthetigraphy; mechanism of pulse oximetry; solubility of gases or vapors in water, blood, and tissue; description of anaesthesia machine with circle breathing system; and malfunction of valves and carbon dioxide absorber. The definitions and description of Mapleson breathing systems are fully covered. An in-depth account of the Jackson-Rees system is provided. The mechanism of Bain system, Lack system, and Magill system are completely presented. A chapter is devoted to description of titration of depth of anesthesia. Another section focuses on the analysis of the concentration effect, diffusion hypoxia, and cardiogenic oscillations. The book can provide useful information to clinicians, doctors, students, and researchers. Aims to distill from the thousands of studies those particular developments that are pertinent for the engineer concerned with predictive methods, for the designer, and for the user and potential user of fluidized beds. This book covers the advances in the field of fluidization. Focuses on the major research developments which are pertinent to engineers concerned with predictive methods and design of fluidization beds J.s. Gravenstein.
