Data from before and after chronic transfusion of packed red blood cells and other medical treatment are shown. Oxygen was inhaled for 10 minutes via a face mask with bag at 10 L/min flow rate.
PA indicates pulmonary arterial; PVR, pulmonary vascular resistance; PVRI, pulmonary vascular resistance index; CO, cardiac output; CI, cardiac index; PCWP, pulmonary capillary wedge pressure; and —, no data.
