Vascular Response to Hypoxia

  • Chapter

Part of the Update in Intensive Care and Emergency Medicine book series (UICM,volume 12)

Abstract

The vascular response to hypoxia is a powerful mechanism to maintain organ function and to reduce the negative effects that hypoxia otherwise would produce. To achieve this, the response in the pulmonary circulation, vasoconstriction, is opposite to the general response in the systemic circulation, vasodilation. The reasons for these different responses, and possible mechanisms producing them, will be discussed in this chapter.
