Table 2.
Physiological values measured during in vivo experimentation at FiO2 of 0.3 and 1.0
| Physiological Variables | FiO2 = 0.3 | FiO2 = 1.0 |
|---|---|---|
| Arterial pO2 (mmHg) * | 98 ± 12 | 400 ± 85 |
| Arterial pCO2 (mmHg) | 36 ± 5 | 40 ± 4 |
| Hb (g/dL) | 12.8 ± 0.8 | 12.9 ± 0.9 |
| Mean arterial pressure(mmHg) | 90 ± 6 | 86 ± 9 |
| Temperature (°C) | 37.3 ± 0.3 | 37.3 ± 0.6 |
| Heart rate (beats/minute) | 352 ± 38 | 353 ± 23 |
Data are mean ± SD. A significant difference (*) was noted in the arterial pO2 (p<.001) between the conditions. No significant difference (p<.05) was noted between conditions for the remaining physiologic variables.
