N2  - A prospective study on fact embolism showed that of ninety-five patients with a fractured shaft of the femur, seven (7 percent) demonstrated both pulmonary and cerebral disturbances, while there were profound disturbances in arterial PO2, hemoglobin level, pulse rate, and temperature in about 40 per cent of the patients. Using a modified Gurd test, a significant amount of fat was demonstrated in 5.7 per cent of the samples of venous blood and in 18.5 per cent of the samples of arterial blood.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>
