Assessment of ventilation-perfusion inequality by aADN2 in newborn infants. 1979

A J Corbet, and J A Ross, and P H Beaudry, and L Stern

The contribution (Qo/Qt) of gas-filled air spaces with reduced ventilation-perfusion ratio (VA/Qc) to the production of total venous admixture in nondistressed premature infant and newborn infants with transient tachypnea was assessed by the aADN2 and AaDo2. The mean value for Qo/Qt in both nondistressed prematures and infants with transient tachypnea was 0.08. In both groups this represented about 30% of total venous admixutre.
