The alcohol breath test--a reviewM P Hlastala
Department of Physiology and Biophysics, University of Washington, Seattle 98195 6522, USA
J Appl Physiol 84:401-8. 1998..The dynamics of airway alcohol exchange results in a positively sloped exhaled alveolar plateau that contributes to considerable breathing pattern-dependent variation in measured breath alcohol concentration measurements...
Gravity is an important but secondary determinant of regional pulmonary blood flow in upright primatesR W Glenny
Department of Medicine, University of Washington, Seattle, Washington 98195, USA
J Appl Physiol 86:623-32. 1999..Although important, gravity is not the predominant determinant of pulmonary perfusion heterogeneity in upright primates. Because of anatomic similarities, the same may be true for humans...
Ventilation heterogeneity is increased in hypocapnic dogs but not pigsK B Domino
Department of Anesthesiology, University of Washington, Seattle 98195 6540, USA
Respir Physiol 111:89-100. 1998..05) in pigs. We conclude that hypocapnia increases ventilation heterogeneity in dogs but not in pigs, most likely related to an interspecies difference in collateral ventilation...
Spatial distribution of venous gas emboli in the lungsJ E Souders
Department of Medicine, University of Washington, Seattle 98195 6522, USA
J Appl Physiol 87:1937-47. 1999..0 increase in relative baseline flow (P = 0.008). We conclude that the distribution of gaseous emboli is influenced by buoyancy and flow dynamics within the pulmonary vasculature...
Minimal redistribution of pulmonary blood flow with exercise in racehorsesS L Bernard
Department of Physiology and Biophysics, University of Washington, Seattle 98195 6522, USA
J Appl Physiol 81:1062-70. 1996..The majority of flow redistribution was due to flow increasing to the dorsal region of the lung during exercise at 90% of maximal oxygen consumption (a flow gradient of 0.20 ml. min-1.cm-1 up the lung; P = 0.04)...
Isocapnic hyperventilation increases carbon monoxide elimination and oxygen deliveryT C Kreck
Department of Medicine, University of Washington, Seattle, Washington 98195 6522, USA
Am J Respir Crit Care Med 163:458-62. 2001..RR, and 4. VT ventilatory patterns. Isocapnic hyperventilation, in our animal model, did not alter arterial or pulmonary blood pressures, arterial pH, or cardiac output. Isocapnic hyperventilation is a promising therapy for CO poisoning...
Vasomotor tone does not affect perfusion heterogeneity and gas exchange in normal primate lungs during normoxiaR W Glenny
Department of Medicine, University of Washington 98195, USA
J Appl Physiol 89:2263-7. 2000..Despite the heterogeneous distribution of blood flow, active regulation of regional perfusion is not required for efficient gas exchange...
Selected contribution: redistribution of pulmonary perfusion during weightlessness and increased gravityR W Glenny
Department of Medicine, University of Washington School of Medicine, Seattle, Washington 98195, USA
J Appl Physiol 89:1239-48. 2000..We conclude that both gravity and the geometry of the pulmonary vascular tree influence regional pulmonary blood flow. However, the structure of the vascular tree is the primary determinant of regional perfusion in these animals...
Exercise alters fractal dimension and spatial correlation of pulmonary blood flow in the horseS E Sinclair
Department of Medicine, University of Washington, Seattle 98195 6522, USA
J Appl Physiol 88:2269-78. 2000..This is the first study to document a change in fractal dimension as a result of increasing pulmonary blood flow. Spatial differences in response to vasoregulatory mediators may play a role in this phenomenon...
Determination of regional ventilation and perfusion in the lung using xenon and computed tomographyT C Kreck
Department of Medicine, University of Washington, Seattle, WA 98195-6522, USA
J Appl Physiol 91:1741-9. 2001..Sequential images acquired by CT during Xe breathing can be used to determine both regional V and Q noninvasively with high spatial resolution...
Characterization of bronchial-to-pulmonary communicationsS Bernard
Department of Medicine, University of Washington, VA Medical Center, Seattle, WA, USA
Arch Physiol Biochem 111:317-8. 2003
Highly soluble gases exchange in the pulmonary airwaysM P Hlastala
University of Washington, Seattle, WA 98195, USA
Arch Physiol Biochem 111:289-92. 2003
Regional hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction in prone pigsI R Starr
Department of Medicine, Univ. of Washington, Seattle, WA, USA
J Appl Physiol 99:363-70. 2005..We determined that pulmonary blood flow changes, caused by HPV, produced distinct response patterns that were seen in similar regions across our prone porcine model...
