Accuracy of the end-expiratory lung volume measured by the modified nitrogen washout/washin technique: a bench study
Abstract Background The functional residual capacity (FRC) determines the oxygenating capacity of the lung and is heavily affected in the clinical context of the acute respiratory distress syndrome. Nitrogen-wash-in/wash-out methods have been used to measure FRC. These methods have rarely been valid...
