Abstract

In terms of intrapulmonary gas and blood flow distribution, the lungs of anesthetized, paralyzed, and mechanically ventilated subjects behave in a manner that differs little from that of normal awake subjects. Studies also suggest that the decreases in functional residual capacity and lung compliance observed in anesthetized subjects in the supine position were not due to the direct pharmacologic action of the anesthetic agent on the lung.
