Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

BACKGROUND: Wound infections are common, serious, surgical complications. Oxidative killing by neutrophils is the primary defense against surgical pathogens and increasing intraoperative tissue oxygen tension markedly reduces the risk of such infections. Since hypercapnia improves cardiac output and peripheral tissue perfusion, we tested the hypothesis that peripheral tissue oxygenation increases as a function of arterial carbon dioxide tension (PaCO(2)) in anesthetized humans. METHODS: General anesthesia was induced with propofol and maintained with sevoflurane in 30% oxygen in 10 healthy volunteers. Subcutaneous tissue oxygen tension (PsqO(2)) was recorded from a subcutaneous tonometer. An oximeter probe on the upper arm measured muscle oxygen saturation. Cardiac output was monitored noninvasively. PaCO(2) was adjusted to 20, 30, 40, 50, or 60 mmHg in random order with each concentration being maintained for 45 min.(2) (2) RESULTS: Increasing PaCO(2) linearly increased cardiac index and PsqO(2) : PsqO(2) = 35.42 + 0.77 (PaCO(2)), < 0.001. CONCLUSIONS: The observed difference in PsqO(2) is clinically important because previous work suggests that comparable increases in tissue oxygenation reduced the risk of surgical infection from -8% to 2 to 3%. We conclude that mild intraoperative hypercapnia increased peripheral tissue oxygenation in healthy human subjects, which may improve resistance to surgical wound infections.

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
