Distribution of Cardiac Output and Oxygen Delivery in aSingleVentricle Physiology Model in an Acute Animal Model

Alaxander F

When single-ventricle physiology is established acutely (e.g., after a Norwood procedure), the combination of low cardiac output and hypoxemia may result in oxygen delivery to systemic organs being compromised. The geographical distribution of cardiac output and oxygen delivery after the establishment of single-ventricle physiology is investigated in this work. Eight piglets were given single-ventricle physiology, while eight more piglets were used as sham control animals
