Estimated central blood volume in cirrhosis [PDF]
The estimated central blood volume (i.e., blood volume in the heart cavities, lungs and central arterial tree) was determined by multiplying cardiac output by circulatory mean transit time in 19 patients with cirrhosis and compared with sympathetic ...

Supine, prone, right and left gravitational effects on human pulmonary circulation
Background Body position can be optimized for pulmonary ventilation/perfusion matching during surgery and intensive care. However, positional effects upon distribution of pulmonary blood flow and vascular distensibility measured as the pulmonary blood ...

Cardiopulmonary interactions in left heart failure
The primary impact of ventilation and ventilatory efforts on left ventricular (LV) function in left ventricular dysfunction relate to how changes in intrathoracic pressure (ITP) alter the pressure gradients for venous return into the chest and LV ...

Chest dual-energy CT to assess the effects of steroids on lung function in severe COVID-19 patients
Background Steroids have been shown to reduce inflammation, hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction (HPV) and lung edema. Based on evidence from clinical trials, steroids are widely used in severe COVID-19.

Methodology of True Pulmonary Blood Volume Determination [PDF]
"True" pulmonary blood volume has been determined by three indicator-dilution methods in 96 subjects. In two methods a right or left ventricular mixing chamber is interposed between the injection and sampling sites while in the third such a mixing chamber is absent.
