Intrapulmonary Shunting is a Key Contributor to Hypoxia in COVID-19: An Update on the Pathophysiology
2022-04-01
Abstract excerpt
Background: The pathophysiology of COVID-19 hypoxia remains poorly understood. This study aimed to identify the relative contribution of intrapulmonary shunting and ventilation-to-perfusion (V<sub>A</sub>/Q) mismatch to the pathophysiology of COVID-19 using a mathematical model to construct oxygen-haemoglobin dissociation curves (ODCs). <br><br>Methods: ODCs were constructed using transcutaneous pulse oximetry at...
