Gas Exchange in the Normal Lung : Experimental studies on the effects of positive end-expiratory pressure and body position
BACKGROUND: The principal function of the lung is gas exchange requiring adequate ventilation and perfusion at the level of the alveoli. The efficiency of gas exchange is depending on the distributions of regional ventilation (V) and pulmonary blood flow (Q) and their correlation. AIMS: To validate...
