Hypoxia due to shunts in pig lung treated with DDFPe
19 pigs with depressed arterial oxygen tensions had DDFPe administered. DDFPe increased arterial, venous, and muscle oxygen tensions.
DDFPe for treatment of hypoxemia due to an experimental pulmonary shunt
Pigs had airways blocked and were given 100% O2 to breathe. DDFPe infusions increase arterial oxygen tensions within minutes.
Method for enhancing transport of gasses to tissues
DDFPe increases arterial oxygen tension and muscle oxygen tension in pigs with pulmonary shunt.
DDFPe used for successful treatment of shunts in the lung
In pigs that haid airflow in the lungs blocked by steel beads, administering DDFPe increased blood and muscle oxygen levels.
