Vasodilators or vasoconstrictors prevent hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction
TLDR
It is concluded that PGI 2 but not SNP selectively inhibits HPV and that neither PGE 2 nor NE further augment HPV, and their resultant changes in systemic oxygen delivery must be considered prior to their use in the clinical setting.About:

Journal ArticleDOI
Improved survival in ARDS patients associated with a reduction in pulmonary capillary wedge pressure.
TL;DR: It is concluded that the notion that treatment of low pressure pulmonary edema with reduction of Ppw is associated with an increased survival is supported.
Journal ArticleDOI
Families of lines: random effects in linear regression analysis.
TL;DR: Several techniques that can be used to compare two independent families of lines are described tutorially, compared, and discussed in the context of more sophisticated and more naive approaches to this common data-analytic problem.

A nomogram relating pO2, pH, temperature, and hemoglobin saturation in the dog.
TL;DR: The Hill equation was found to fit the data well in the range from 20% to 98% saturation and linear terms for pH and temperature effects were found to improve appreciably the prediction ability of the equation.

Mechanisms of hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction.
TL;DR: Measurements of the force of contraction and membrane potential and manipulation of the environment of pulmonary microvessels are the most recent progress in the elucidation of the mechanism of hypoxic vasoconstriction.

Influence of cardiac output on intrapulmonary shunt
TL;DR: The data suggest that shunt and nonshunt vessels behave differently in response to alterations of blood flow and emphasize that any interpretation of changes in shunt in the setting of diffuse lung injury must be interpreted in light ofChanges in cardiac output.
