Do different methods of pulmonary artery occlusion pressure decay profile analysis accurately estimate pulmonary capillary pressure compared to lymph flow measurements in sheep?
Pulmonary artery occlusion pressure decay profile analysis has limited application for accurately estimating pulmonary capillary pressure or vascular resistance distribution.
Wakerlin et al. (1995) studied this question.
