The acute effects of volume infusion on mechanisms and severity of exercise-induced arterial hypoxemia
Incomplete recruitment of pulmonary capillaries could shorten right-to-left ventricular red cell pulmonary transit time (PTT) and explain exercise-induced arterial hypoxemia (EIAH). Volume expansion could dilate and/or recruit pulmonary capillaries, lengthen PTT and improve gas exchange (reduce EIAH...
