Arterial air embolism after venous air infusion in newborn piglets.

Unlabelled: In the newborn period, decreased right atrial pressure results in functional closure of the foramen ovale (FO). The objective of this study was to investigate whether air bubbles infused in the vena cava will pass through the FO into the arterial circulation in a newborn animal. Since air tends to rise to the highest point in a fluid, the study also investigated whether the animal's position could influence arterialization of air.
