Inlet


Definition:

  • (8) To better understand the mechanism of cerebral blood flow during CPR in humans, we determined the aortic-carotid artery pressure difference, the cephalic perfusion pressure (the carotid artery-jugular vein pressure difference), and thoracic inlet venous "valving" (the central venous-jugular vein pressure difference), while administering standard doses of epinephrine.

  • (10) Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) was performed in 27 mongrel adult dogs employing a V-V bypass between the proximal region of the inferior vena cava, used as a blood outlet, and the external jugular vein, used as a blood inlet, in order to investigate the decrease in leukocytes and the change in leukotriene B4 (LTB4) caused by ECMO.
