Effects of Different Hemodynamic Conditions on Brain Capillaries: Alveolar Hypoxia, Hypovolemic Hypotension, and Ouabain Edema

  • Conference paper
Book cover Brain Hypoxia

Part of the book series: Advances in Neurosurgery ((NEURO,volume 3))

Abstract

An increase of capillary length has been described in studies on the influence of alveolar hypoxia (15, 8, 6) as well as of hypovolemic hypotension (12), although the capillaries become dilated under hypoxic and constricted under hypovolemic conditions.
