- This doesn't shunt through the foramen ovale, but the fetus is able to send this oxygen-poor blood from the right atrium to the right ventricle (the chamber that normally pumps blood to the lungs). (heart.org)
- Most of the blood that leaves the right ventricle in the fetus bypasses the lungs through the second of the two extra fetal connections, known as the ductus arteriosus. (heart.org)
- Because there is no real need for the lungs before a baby is born, a fetus maintains high lung pressure which causes blood to steer away from the lungs and toward other developing organs via a "switch" known as the ductus arteriosis. (syracusemedicalmalpracticelawyerblog.com)
- In babies with PPHN, the ductus arteriosis does not close on day one of life, leaving blood directed away from the lungs and low blood oxygen levels. (syracusemedicalmalpracticelawyerblog.com)
