- Brief Summary
An approximately linear relationship between the PetCO2 and Max Vp was observed. The pumping out of 100% BV produced little or no change in the Hct, pH, P mix v CO2, and P mix v O2, respectively. The hemodilution produced by intravenous infusion of PSS caused a significant decrease in the Hct, but not in the PetCO2. In conclusion, another route of CO2 gas excretion, independent of red blood cells, may be involved in human lungs.
