In open-chest dogs, the normal pulmonary arterial circulation is characterized by negative wave reflection that facilitates right ventricular ejection, which increases with higher blood volume and PEEP.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Animal data link negative pulmonary wave reflection to RV ejection; leaves open translation to human hemodynamics.
Hollander et al. (2001) studied this question.
