title: [Hemodynamics of right circulation in ewes: normal values].
abstract: The right cardiac pressure was measured on 24 anesthetized adult ewes (Halothane) with a Swan Ganz catheter. After a review of the catheterization technique, the results (mean +/- standard deviation) in mmHg were: right auricle 17 +/- 5, right ventricle 30 +/- 6 (systolic) and 12 +/- 6 (telediastolic), pulmonary artery 29 +/- 6 (systolic), 13 +/- 6 (diastolic) and 20 +/- 6 (mean), capillary pressure 17 +/- 7. We observed slight variations in the pressure curve morphology compared to those found for man and the pressures were 5-10 mmHg higher than what is observed in man and slightly higher than those observed in dogs. These results also demonstrate a great variation between animals.
