Do ventilatory strategies affect gas exchange in a pig model of closed-chest cardiac compression?
This study indicates that passive air movement during chest compression does not allow physiologically significant pulmonary gas exchange and that room air ventilation alone is not sufficient to maintain mixed venous PO2.
Intercollegiate athletes cleared for participation reported significantly higher SF-36 scores in comparison with a similarly aged sample of the general population. These normative values are important in the evaluation of health status of intercollegiate athletes before and after intervention.
