Pulmonary hemodynamic responses to <it>in utero </it>ventilation in very immature fetal sheep
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>The onset of ventilation at birth decreases pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) resulting in a large increase in pulmonary blood flow (PBF). As the large cross sectional area of the pulmonary vascular bed develops late in gestation,...
