Even though since the time of Bert (64) and Viault (499, 500) mammals and birds have been
included in high-altitude studies, human physiology has dominated this field, not only by the …

Objective To review optical spectroscopic techniques for assessment of the determinants of
tissue oxygenation and to evaluate the notion that the disturbances in oxygen pathways in …

The Root effect is a pH-dependent reduction in hemoglobin-O2 carrying capacity. Specific to
ray-finned fishes, the Root effect has been ascribed specialized roles in retinal oxygenation …

The relationship between systemic and microvascular Po2 in subcutaneous connective
tissue and hemodynamics was investigated during 4-h hemorrhagic shock (40 mmHg) in …

Measurement of tissue oxygenation and haemoglobin saturation is of major importance in
the intensive care patient, since conventional monitoring techniques fail to provide …

A mathematical model of oxygen (O 2) transport within a capillary utilizes axisymmetric red
blood cell (RBC) shapes that were predicted theoretically by Zarda et al. in 1977. Chemical …

Objective: Aiming at elucidating the effects on capillary blood flow and tissue oxygenation of
hyperoxemia during cardiopulmonary bypass, we studied skeletal muscle surface oxygen …

Sepsis is associated with abnormalities of muscle tissue oxygenation and of microvascular
function. We investigated whether the technique of near-infrared spectroscopy can evaluate …

After a single bout of aerobic exercise, oxygen consumption remains elevated above
preexercise levels [excess postexercise oxygen consumption (EPOC)]. Similarly, skeletal …

We compared the hemodynamic and metabolic alterations produced in rabbits by similar
decreases in cardiac output created by inflating a balloon placed in the right ventricle (n= 6) …
