Qs = shunt flow in liters per minute; Cc = end-pulmonary capillary oxygen content in volumes per cent; Ca = arterial oxygen content in volumes per cent; Cv = mixed venous oxygen content in volumes ...

This reduces the shunt fraction and simultaneously increases PaO 2.. In chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, alveoli may be partially ventilated; inhaling NO creates shunting. Pulsed NO ...

A novel shunt technique has been shown to provide immediate resolution of penile pain and rigidity associated with prolonged ischemic priapism, reports a team lead by William Brant from the ...

What Is a Pulmonary Embolism? A pulmonary embolism (PE) happens when a blood clot suddenly blocks an artery that supplies blood to your lungs. Pulmonary embolism happens when a blood clot travels ...

Cirrhosis is one of the leading causes of mortality from non-communicable diseases, with complications arising as liver ...

The UAB Division of Pulmonary, Allergy and Critical Care Medicine is an integral part of one of the nation's largest health systems. Nationally known for our compassionate care, cutting-edge research, ...

Nor did this appear to be severe pulmonary hypertension secondary to a left-to-right shunt. Thus, one was left with a diagnosis of pulmonary hypertension, etiology undetermined, until the signs of ...

Despite the patient’s pregnancy we carried out contrast-enhanced thoracic computed tomography to detect, for example, any pulmonary vascular malformation. A shunt between the right bronchial ...

Shunt resistors are connected in parallel with an instrument or component to divert electrical current. They provide an alternate path for current in case of failure, and can be used to accomplish a ...

In general, the capacity of the pulmonary system far exceeds the demands required for ventilation and gas exchange during exercise. Endurance training induces large and significant adaptations within ...

LV output is measuring the sum of systemic blood flow and the shunt through the DA, which is actually pulmonary blood flow, whereas RV output is measuring systemic blood flow. Both of these are ...
