    Wear a properly fitted mask when physical distancing is not possible and in poorly ventilated settings. Clean your hands frequently with alcohol-based hand rub or soap and water.

  3. Blackdamp - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blackdamp

    Blackdamp is encountered in enclosed environments such as mines, sewers, wells, tunnels and ships' holds. It occurs with particular frequency in abandoned or poorly ventilated coal mines. Coal, once exposed to the air of a mine, naturally begins absorbing oxygen and exuding carbon dioxide and water vapor.

  4. Ventilation–perfusion mismatch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ventilation–perfusion...

    A ventilation perfusion scan or lung scintigraphy can be used to diagnose areas of lungs being ventilated but not adequately perfused. This results in a raised Alveolar-arterial (A-a) gradient which is responsive to supplemental oxygen. In conditions with right to left shunts, there are also ventilation perfusion defects with high A-a gradients.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypoxia_(medicine)

    A ventilation/perfusion scan, [96] also called a V/Q lung scan, is a type of medical imaging using scintigraphy and medical isotopes to evaluate the circulation of air and blood within a patient's lungs, [97] [98] in order to determine the ventilation/perfusion ratio. The ventilation part of the test looks at the ability of air to reach all ...

  6. Hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypoxic_pulmonary...

    By redirecting blood flow from poorly-ventilated lung regions to well-ventilated lung regions, HPV is thought to be the primary mechanism underlying ventilation/perfusion matching. [1] [2] The process might initially seem counterintuitive, as low oxygen levels might theoretically stimulate increased blood flow to the lungs to increase gas exchange.

  7. Pulmonary shunt - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulmonary_shunt

    A pulmonary shunt is the passage of deoxygenated blood from the right side of the heart to the left without participation in gas exchange in the pulmonary capillaries. It is a pathological condition that results when the alveoli of parts of the lungs are perfused with blood as normal, but ventilation (the supply of air) fails to supply the perfused region.

  9. Hypoxemia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypoxemia

    In a compensated state, blood vessels supplying less-ventilated areas of the lung may selectively contract, to redirect the blood to areas of the lungs which are better ventilated. However, in a chronic context, and if the lungs are not well ventilated generally, this mechanism can result in pulmonary hypertension , overloading the right ...
