Resumo

The mechanism for a right-to-left shunt may often be difficult to determine.Conditions such as pulmonary embolism, interstitial oedema, low cardiac output, and an increase in the closing volume above functional residual capacity may simulate it.The following case report illustrates an unusual mechanism for a rightto-left shunt after right pneumonectomy which was suspected at the bedside from a low blood oxygen content after inhalation of 100% oxygen.Case report
