We consider two and 50 compartment lung models for use with two techniques used to investigate the efficiency of the lungs: the Multiple Breath Nitrogen Washout (MBNW) technique used for investigating the ventilation-volume distribution; and the Multiple Inert Gas Elimination Technique (MIGET) used
An assumption of the classical three-compartment lung model is that the physiologic shunt fraction (Q/Q) remains constant with changes in cardiac output (Ql). As a result, when Qt decreases, both the arterial Oz tension (P,oJ and the mixed venous 02 tension (P,",) must also decrease. Yet observation
The arterial oxygen and carbon dioxide tensions, pulmonary and systemic haemodynamics and pulmonary shunting and mechanics were measured during the first 30 min after intravenous labetalol administration. Thirty patients, recovering in the intensive care unit after neurosurgical interventions were r
