Little direct evidence in man indicates that acute right ventricular loading alters left ven-tricular
configuration. We used the Mueller maneuver (forced inspiration against a closed airway) …

Since thc prccisc blood supply to the platysma and anterolateral neck skin was unknown,
wc felt that prior to extending our use of the platysma flap to facial reconstruction, a detailed …

The conventional explanation for the fall in left ventricular stroke volume (LVSV) with
inspiration is that blood pools in the lungs, thereby decreasing pulmonary venous return. In …

The circulation requires the heart to pump blood from the venous to the arterial bed. The factors
that determine venous flow into the heart are mean pressure in the systemic vasculature, …

We have investigated the mechanisms involved in the inspiratory fall in left ventricular stroke
volume (LVSV), utilizing a spontaneously breathing dog on right-heart bypass (RHBP). We …

The hemodynamic effects of intermittent positive pressure ventilation (IPPV) have generally
been considered straightforward, being dominated by the inspiratory reduction in systemic …

Previous descriptions of the blood supply of the neck have been contradictory. Neck dissections
were performed on 17 adult cadavers after perfusion with radio-opaque microfil silicone …

The vascular pressure-flow (PQ) relationships in zone II (West et al.) were studied in
isolated canine left lower lobes, in order to characterize the total resistance in the pulmonary …
