In 1956, Lillehei and his colleagues proposed the technique of retrograde infusion of cardioplegic solutions directly into the coronary sinus. Many practitioners have found this method to be as effective as antegrade infusion , though it often results in less perfusion of the right ventricle (especially its midsection) and right atrium. To address this issue, retrograde infusion can be administered through the right atrium and right ventricle instead.

FACTORS THAT INFLUENCE THE MECHANICS OF ARTIFICIAL VENTILATION: The forces that impede ventilation include non-elastic or respiratory system resistance, which occurs when gas flows within the airway circuit, and elastic resistance, which occurs in the absence of gas flow in the circuit. Examples of non-elastic resistance include frictional resistance to gas flow, viscoelastic resistance from the deformation of thoracic tissues, and finally, the inertia of gas flow and tissue movement.
