Their development is favored by the presence of infection, with its accompanying bronchospasm, hypoxia and hypercapnia, and by the use of digitalis. Digitalis, however, was an important factor in ...

During these events, the oxygen content of fetal blood may decrease (hypoxemia), and the carbon dioxide or carbonic acid content of the fetal blood may increase (hypercapnia). Despite the adaptive ...

By adding the stress of hypoxia during ‘aerobic’ or ‘anaerobic’ interval training, it is believed that IHT would potentiate greater performance improvements compared to similar training at sea level.

Diligent monitoring of blood gasses will dictate changes to correct hypoxia, hypercapnia, and acidosis. Vital signs and physical assessment skills determine the need for vasopressor drips and ...
