Left-to-Right Shunts
Contrary to the opinion of French pediatrician HenriLouis that isolated ventricular septal defects (VSDs) are universally well tolerated, the subsequent discoveries of Eisenmenger, Abbott, Wood, and others have taught us that the prognosis of left-to-right shunt lesions is not always benign. After more than a century of research, as pediatric cardiologists and congenital heart surgeons, we clai...
متن کاملArterial oxygenation during sleep in patients with right-to-left cardiac or intrapulmonary shunts.
We have studied arterial oxygen saturation (SaO2), breathing patterns, and electroencephalographic (EEG) sleep stage during nocturnal sleep in six patients with right-to-left cardiac or intrapulmonary shunts and six patients with chronic bronchitis and emphysema, chosen because they were equally hypoxaemic when awake (SaO2 during wakefulness: bronchitis 74-90%, mean 83%; shunt 77-89%, mean 83%)...
متن کاملThe Identification of Right-to-Left Shunts
SEVERAL METHODS are now used in conjunction with cardiac catheterization for localizing and quantitating right-to-left shunts. These include the recording of indicator-dye concentration curves after selective intracardiac dye injection,14 the external recording of radioactivity following injection of radioactive materials,5 6 and the use of cardioangiograms or cineangiograms to picture the cour...
متن کاملDetection of right-to-left shunts with an arterial potentiometric electrode.
T HE platinized platinum electrode develops a rapidly responding and readily recorded potential in the presence of hydrogen dissolved in blood. A sensitive procedure for detecting and localizing left-to-right shunts in the catheterization laboratory"2 and in the operating room3 has been developed with use of such an electrode on the tip of a cardiac catheter. Hydrogen has been found to be compl...
متن کاملExperience with Hydrogen as an Indicator of Left-to-right Shunts.
Detection of intracardiac shunts by means of conventional oximetry, dye dilution curves, nitrous oxide, or krypton gas tests, may be hampered by lack of sensitivity of the method, cost, or complexity of equipment and unreliability of the results. The hydrogen technique proposed by Clark and Bargeron (1959a, b) and Bargeron, Clark, and McArthur (1960) seems to obviate these disadvantages. The fo...
