The Catalina treatment table is a modification of Treatment Table 6. Oxygen cycles are 20 minutes, and air breaks 5 minutes. The full Catalina Table allows for up to 5 extensions at 60 fsw. [18] Shorter versions include: 3 oxygen cycles at 60 fsw followed by a minimum of 6 oxygen cycles at 30 fsw. (equivalent to USN Table 6)
Both enzymes, C4b2b3b and C3bBbC3b, are unstable and undergo decay dissociation with a half-life at 37 °C of approximately 1.5 - 3 min. [1] The properdin stabilizes the alternative pathway C5 convertase of which half-life is at 37 °C 10 - 34 min. [2] [3] In contrast, the fluid phase C5 convertase CVFBb is stable (half-life at 37 °C = 7 h). [10]
To perform the test, one set of electrodes are placed on viable tissue (e.g. the chest) as a control and a second set is placed around the tissue in question (e.g. legs or feet). The electrodes may mildly heat the skin to increase blood flow into the area. Oxygen may also be given to the patient to see if that increases oxygen levels in the tissue.
The limiting oxygen concentration (LOC), [1] also known as the minimum oxygen concentration (MOC), [2] is defined as the limiting concentration of oxygen below which combustion is not possible, independent of the concentration of fuel. It is expressed in units of volume percent of oxygen. The LOC varies with pressure and temperature.
Normal arterial blood oxygen saturation levels in humans are 96–100 percent. [1] If the level is below 90 percent, it is considered low and called hypoxemia . [ 2 ] Arterial blood oxygen levels below 80 percent may compromise organ function, such as the brain and heart, and should be promptly addressed.
Natural air includes 21% oxygen, which is equivalent to F I O 2 of 0.21. Oxygen-enriched air has a higher F I O 2 than 0.21; up to 1.00 which means 100% oxygen. F I O 2 is typically maintained below 0.5 even with mechanical ventilation, to avoid oxygen toxicity, [2] but there are applications when up to 100% is routinely used.
In which pO 2 is the chosen maximum partial pressure of oxygen in atmospheres absolute and the FO 2 is the fraction of oxygen in the mixture. For example, if a gas contains 36% oxygen (FO 2 = 0.36) and the limiting maximum pO 2 is chosen at 1.4 atmospheres absolute, the MOD in feet of seawater (fsw) [ Notes 1 ] is 33 fsw/atm x [(1.4 ata / 0.36 ...
An enthalpy–entropy chart, also known as the H–S chart or Mollier diagram, plots the total heat against entropy, [1] describing the enthalpy of a thermodynamic system. [2] A typical chart covers a pressure range of 0.01–1000 bar , and temperatures up to 800 degrees Celsius . [ 3 ]
