Hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction is an extremely important mechanism that plays the crucial role in the match between ventilation and diffusion in the lungs in many clinical scenarios (lung ventilation, recruitment, storage in pneumonia). It is called euler liljestrand mechanism, as well. For clinical practice it is important that the mechanism usually needs 15 minutes to develop (start one lung ventilation soon!).
