Stretching the lungs of dogs via mechanical traction or positive pressure ventilation induces vagus-mediated reflex systemic vasodilatation.
Stretching the lungs in dogs induces vagally-mediated reflex systemic vasodilatation.
Absolute Event Rate: 0% vs 0%
Evidence is presented that reflex systemic vasodilatation occurs after stretching dog's lungs by either mechanical traction or positive pressure ventilation under conditions of separate pulmonary and systemic perfusion. This reflex is mediated by the vagus.
