Oxygen saturation

A water molecule is made of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom. Oxygen and Hydrogen are gases but when combined form into a liquid compound; water. The hydrogen atoms make an angle of around 105 degrees with the oxygen atom. The oxygen atom dominates an end of the molecule while the hydrogen atoms dominate the other. The asymmetry of the water molecule causes the oxygen end to have a slight negative charge while the hydrogen end has a slightly positive charge. A molecule with both (-) and…

obtained in the bathymetric survey showed occurrence of a sedimentation process in this lagoon. Some physico-chemical parameters of the water column were determined by Hohn et al. (1986) during the years 1982 to 1984. At that time, dissolved oxygen saturation (102 to 125%) and pH (8.47 to 9.37) were higher than…

demonstrate improved ventilation and adequate oxygenation as evidenced by blood gas levels within normal parameters. Patient will maintain clear lung fields and remain free of signs of respiratory distress Patient will verbalize understanding of oxygen supplementation and other therapeutic intervention (Ackley & Ladwig, 2013, p. 375) References Ackley, J. B., Ladwig, B. G. (2014). Nursing Diagnosis Handbook: An Evidence-Based Guide to Planning Care (10th ed.). Maryland Heights, MO: Mosby…

A 42-year-old male is admitted to the ICU for septic shock and hypotension. Vital signs include heart rate of 115 beats/min, respiratory rate 22 breaths/min, blood pressure of 82/40 mmHg, and oxygen saturation of 88% on 2L nasal cannula. A vasopressor is needed to address this patient’s hypotension. Prior to placement of an arterial line at the radial artery, which of the following describes the most appropriate diagnostic test? A. Instruct the patient to flex the elbow to 90 degrees while the…

affect muscular function. As we learned in class there is a drastic change in pH levels due to the blood becoming more alkaline. Higher ventilation increases PaO2, but causes a shift of the curve to left to form a tighter bond between hemoglobin and oxygen. With that bicarbonate plays an…

meat, liver, or dairy products (Guardiola et al., 2002). The oxysterol content in these products is influenced by ambient conditions (Zanardi et al., 2002; Soupas et al., 2004), e.g., temperature, light, or presence of oxygen in the place, where the food is stored. The saturation of lipid content in cell membrane also influences the sterol oxidation extent (Soupas et al., 2004). Oxysterols enter the human body also through the skin. Tonello and Polli showed, that non-enzymatic oxidation of…

Oxygen is one of the most common used drug in emergency medicine and when it is used judiciously in the treatment of hypoxemia it undoubtedly saves life. However, oxygen is often used inappropriately and the dangers of over-oxygenation are unappreciated. Routine oxygen administration is a medical intervention that can be for a variety of purposes in both chronic and acute patients. A normal air rate is composed of 20.95% oxygen by volume and it is essential for cell metabolism in return tissue…

maximum lipase production in Figure 1 is 132U/ml which happens at 15th hour and the production of lipase started to decline during 15th to 15.2h although the cell concentration increases contionuously. This is because of the depletion of dissolved oxygen in the culture medium. Therefore, an experiment related to DO- stat feeding was…

The MTBE operation consists of various units; the focal units are De Iso Butanizer (DIB), Butamer, Oleflex and Ethermax. Methanol produced from QAFAC, mixed butane from QP NGL facilities and water with power from KAHRAMAA and small amounts of chemicals to be used such as: 10% Caustic, DMDS, PERC and Chlorine are the required raw materials needed to generate MTBE. Producing MTBE starts with passing the Butane mixture that is in the storage sphere at QAFAC through the DIB unit where the…

Introduction Desulphurization of steel at ladle treatment of metal is one of the important technological operations. The successful course of the desulfurization process is provided by fire refining slag with specific chemical composition, usually based on calcium oxide. The duration of mixing of the metal with the slag in inert gas, the early formation of refining slag, then optimization of the metal oxidation providing the formation of iron oxide FeO in the slag to be less than 0.5 % able…
