Abstract:
In chronic obstructive lung disease and pulmonary artery hypertension a cranialisation of both ventilation and perfusion can be observed. Nitroglycerine induces a decrease of tension and peripheral resistance. A ventilation-perfusion mismatching induces arterial hypoxemia. If bronchospasmolytic agents are added, hypoxemia can be prohibited.
