Abstract
Summary
In 10 normal calves and 7 calves with brisket disease, injections of small volumes of normal saline into the wedged pulmonary artery catheter were shown to produce transient but significant increases in pulmonary-artery wedge pressure that could be reversed with isoproterenol. Whether this occurred at a pre- or post-capillary site or both could not be determined.
The technical assistance of Mr. Don Anton and Filimon Ukradyha, Ph.D. is greatly appreciated.
