Table 1. Arterial Blood Gases, pH, and Catecholamine Concentration at Different Inspired Carbon Dioxide Concentrations in Seven Normal Subjects Anesthetized with Diazepam (A) or Isoflurane (B)
Values are mean ± SD. Normal values for plasma epinephrine (E) and norepinephrine (NE) concentration 6,10are shown in parentheses.
Fico2= fraction of inspired carbon dioxide; Pao2= arterial oxygen tension; Paco2= arterial carbon dioxide tension; pHa = arterial pH.
