Controlled versus free breathing for multiple breath nitrogen washout in healthy adults

Controlled versus free breathing for multiple breath nitrogen washout in healthy adults

Multiple breath nitrogen washout (MBNW) quantifies ventilation heterogeneity. Two distinct protocols are currently used for MBNW testing: “controlled breathing”, with targeted tidal volume (VT) and respiratory rate (RR); and “free breathing”, with no constraints on breathing pattern.
