First U.S. execution by nitrogen gas would cause "painful and humiliating death," U.N. experts warn » Experts have denounced Alabama's planned execution of a death row inmate by nitrogen hypoxia — an untested suffocation method that they say could cause "grave suffering." Cbsnews.com

Lawsuit challenges Alabama's plan to execute a death row inmate with nitrogen gas » Alabama is preparing to employ a new method of execution using nitrogen gas following botched attempts at lethal injections last year. Cbsnews.com

Alveolar Gas Equation » The alveolar gas equation is used to calculate alveolar oxygen partial pressure as it is not possible to collect gases directly from the alveoli. The equation is helpful in calculating and closely estimating the PaO2 inside the alveoli. The variables in the equation can affect the PaO2 inside the alveoli in different physiological and pathophysiological states. Ncbi.nlm.nih.gov

Partial Pressure Of Oxygen » Humans are highly aerobic organisms consuming oxygen per metabolic demand.[1] In aerobic respiration, oxygen and pyruvate produce adenosine triphosphate (ATP), producing energy for the whole body.[2] To maintain homeostasis, there needs to be a gradient of pressure within the tissues that pushes oxygen by diffusion from the membranes into the tissues.[3] Many factors influence the amount of dissolved oxygen present within the cells and tissues, such as [4] Ncbi.nlm.nih.gov
