Regional Ventilation and Aerosol Deposition with Helium-Oxygen in Bronchoconstricted Asthmatic Lungs

Background: Theoretical models suggest that He-O₂ as carrier gas may lead to more homogeneous ventilation and aerosol deposition than air. However, these effects have not been clinically consistent and it is unclear why subjects may or may not respond to the therapy. Here we present 3D-imaging data...
