Altering Blood Flow Does Not Reveal Differences Between Nitrogen And Helium Kinetics In Brain Or In Skeletal Miracle In Sheep

Posted on March 22, 2015 by admin

In underwater diving, decompression schedules are based on compartmental models of nitrogen and helium tissue kinetics. However, these models are not based on direct measurements of nitrogen and helium kinetics. In isoflurane-anesthetized sheep, nitrogen and helium kinetics in the hind … Continue reading →
