There is now increasing evidence from the experimental and clinical setting that therapeutic hypercapnia from intentionally inspired carbon dioxide (CO2) or lower tidal volume might be a beneficial adjunct to the strategies of mechanical ventilation in ...

The effects on arterial haemoglobin oxygen saturation and on shunt of increasing cardiac output with dopamine or dobutamine during one-lung ventilation [PDF]
Publisher's copy made available with the permission of the publisher © Australian Society of AnaesthetistsTheoretically, if the cardiac output were increased in the presence of a given intrapulmonary shunt, the arterial saturation should improve as the ...

Hypoxic regulation of ion channel function and expression [PDF]
Acute hypoxia regulates the activity of specific ion channels in a rapid and reversible manner. Such effects underlie appropriate cellular responses to hypoxia which are designed to initiate cardiorespiratory reflexes and contribute importantly to other ...

Transient receptor potential vanilloid 4 (TRPV4) is a mechanosensitive channel in pulmonary arterial smooth muscle cells (PASMCs). Its upregulation by chronic hypoxia is associated with enhanced myogenic tone, and genetic deletion of trpv4 suppresses the

Sensors and signals: the role of reactive oxygen species in hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction
When lung cells experience hypoxia, the functional response, termed hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction, activates a multitude of pathways with the goal of optimizing gas exchange.

Notch Activation of Ca(2+) Signaling in the Development of Hypoxic Pulmonary Vasoconstriction and Pulmonary Hypertension. [PDF]
Hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction (HPV) is an important physiological response that optimizes the ventilation/perfusion ratio. Chronic hypoxia causes vascular remodeling, which is central to the pathogenesis of hypoxia-induced pulmonary hypertension ...

Attenuation of human hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction by acetazolamide and methazolamide.
RATIONALE Acetazolamide, a carbonic anhydrase inhibitor used for preventing altitude illness attenuates hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction (HPV) while improving oxygenation. Methazolamide, an analog of acetazolamide, is more lipophilic, has a longer half-

Hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction: mechanisms and controversies [PDF]
The pulmonary circulation differs from the systemic in several important aspects, the most important being that pulmonary arteries constrict to moderate physiological (∼20–60 mmHg PO2) hypoxia, whereas systemic arteries vasodilate. This phenomenon is called hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction (HPV), and is responsible for maintaining the ventilation ...

Hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction in isolated mouse pulmonary arterial vessels
What is the central question of this study? Hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction has never been characterized in isolated mouse pulmonary arteries of different generations in detail. What is the main finding and its importance?
