Endexpiratory lung volume measurement correlates with the ventilation/perfusion mismatch in lung injured pigs

Endexpiratory lung volume measurement correlates with the ventilation/perfusion mismatch in lung injured pigs

Abstract Background In acute respiratory respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) a sustained mismatch of alveolar ventilation and perfusion (VA/Q) impairs the pulmonary gas exchange. Measurement of endexpiratory lung volume (EELV) by multiple breath-nitrogen washout/washin is a non-invasive, bedside te...
