  • Title: [Scanning in progessive pulmonary failure (shock-lung): preliminary results of a clinical study].
    Author: Biersack HJ, Rommelsheim K, Thelen M, Hünermann B, Straaten HG, Winkler C.
    Journal: Dtsch Med Wochenschr; 1976 Jun 11; 101(24):927-9. PubMed ID: 1278007.
    Abstract:
    Lung scanning was performed on five patients with shock lung. It gave no evidence of morphological (pre-capillary) arterio-venous shunts or of increased pulmonary arterial pressure. Nor was there evidence of perfusion-ventilation inequality in the scan. The cause of the progressive pulmonary insufficiency was most likely due to maldistribution of gases in the microscopic region and to diffusion abnormalities.
