Asphyxia by Drowning Induces Massive Bleeding Due To Hyperfibrinolytic Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation.

abstract：:Several variables may account for the response of electrochemical skin surface PO2 sensors to anesthetic gases: cathode material and size, pH of the electrolyte and membrane material. These variables cannot be chosen arbitrarily and their influence has been tested with two types of sensors. In one type (LSC), a large ...
