Does breathing 100 per cent oxygen alter pulmonary blood volume and hemodynamics in patients with organic heart disease?
Does breathing 100 per cent oxygen alter pulmonary blood volume and hemodynamics in patients with organic heart disease?
Breathing 100% oxygen in patients with organic heart disease can lead to a decrease in pulmonary blood volume, likely through a passive mechanism.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Caution against changing oxygen use in organic heart disease; hypothesis-generating for passive mechanisms, needing prospective trials.
Glick et al. (1963) studied this question.
