Lung mechanics and gas exchange. (a) Respiratory compliance was decreased in banded vs sham cats. (b–d) Impaired oxygenation in banded vs sham cats was reflected by decreased PaO2/FIO2 ratio, increased A-aDO2 and increased intrapulmonary shunt. FIO2 = 1. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01 between groups. A-aDO2 = alveolar-arterial oxygen difference, PaO2 = partial pressure of oxygen in arterial blood.
