Expiratory time constant heterogeneity in experimental acute respiratory distress syndrome
Purpose This thesis evaluated regional heterogeneity of pulmonary mechanical values within models of lung injury. To this end four separate studies were completed. I evaluated regional expiratory time constant (τE) heterogeneity and tissue strain (ε) in a lung model using functional respiratory im...
