Effect of infrared low power laser irradiation on blood acid-base balance and respiratory gases tension

摘要

Small volume (0.5 ml) of arterial or venous rat's blood was subjected to impulse LPILR (lambda = 0.89 microns) in the light transparent cuvette. In arterial blood, a decrease of the pO2 (by 15.5 +/- 2.6%) and an increase of the pCO2 (by 22.0 +/- 4.8%) in respect to initial values, were determined. The acid-base shift from 7.39 +/- 0.02 to 7.34 +/- 0.02 was recorded. Only in few experiments, there were changes of pO2, pCO2 and pH in venous blood. Probable mechanism(s) of the mentioned parameters changes are discussed.
