The venous admixture was measured before, during, and after deflation of one lung during anaesthesia for thoracotomy in 10 subjects ventilated with 50% oxygen. The mean oxygen saturation fell from 99% before deflation of the lung to 89% after 30 minutes’ atelectasis. The pH and carbon dioxide tension did not change significantly. The shunt was 38% of cardiac output five minutes after and 41% 30 minutes after deflation. The reciprocal of the arterial venous oxygen content difference correlated positively with the shunt, suggesting that increased venous admixture is accompanied by increased cardiac output.
