Ventilation-Perfusion Relationships Following Experimental Pulmonary Contusion

Abstract

Ventilation-perfusion changes after right-sided pulmonary contusion (PC) in swine were investigated by means of the multiple inert gas elimination technique (MIGET). Anesthetized swine (injury, n = 8; control, n = 6) sustained a right-chest PC by a captive-bolt apparatus. This was followed by a 12-ml/kg hemorrhage, resuscitation, and reinfusion of shed blood. MIGET and thoracic computed tomography (CT) were performed before and 6 h after injury.
