The molecular mechanisms underlying hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction (HPV) are not yet properly understood. Mitochondrial electron transport chain (ETC) and NADPH oxidase have been proposed as possible oxygen sensors, with derived reactive oxygen species (ROS) playing key roles in coupling the sen

Acute pulmonary embolism (PE) was induced by injecting polystyrene beads into the right atrium of 18 anaesthetized dogs. The animals were resuscitated for 45 min with either Ringer's Lactate (RL), norepinephrine (NE) or isoproterenol (IP). The multiple inert gas elimination technique (MIGET) was use
An assumption of the classical three-compartment lung model is that the physiologic shunt fraction (Q/Q) remains constant with changes in cardiac output (Ql). As a result, when Qt decreases, both the arterial Oz tension (P,oJ and the mixed venous 02 tension (P,",) must also decrease. Yet observation
