Abstract
Hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction is a local reflex in the lung that diverts blood away from poorly oxygenated regions. Improvements in understanding of modulators of this response have led to pharmacologic methods whereby V/Q matching may potentially be improved in certain types of pulmonary pathology and during anesthesia for thoracic surgical procedures.
