Popis: Long-standing hypoxemia was surgically created in dogs by inserting an aortic homograft between the inferior vena cava and right atrium. Ligation of the caval-atria1 junction resulted in a right-toleft cardiac shunt. Arterial p 0, fell immediately and P,, increased within 20 min. The 2,3-diphosphoglycerate concentration rose in 4 hr following surgery, while hemoglobin concentration increased within 7 days. Alterations in hemoglobin-oxygen affinity can occur rapidly and may be beneficial compensatory responses to acute and chronic hypoxemia caused by a right-to-left cardiac shunt.
