Respiratory mechanics and gas exchange in an ovine model of congenital heart disease with increased pulmonary blood flow and pressure

In a model of congenital heart disease (CHD), we evaluated if chronically increased pulmonary blood flow and pressure were associated with altered respiratory mechanics and gas exchange. Respiratory mechanics and gas exchange were evaluated in 6 shunt, 7 SHAM, and 7 control age-matched lambs. Lambs...
