The effect of inspired oxygen concentration on the ventilation-perfusion distribution in inhomogeneous lungs.
The coupled conservation of mass equations for oxygen, carbon dioxide and nitrogen are written down for a lung model consisting of two homogeneous alveolar compartments (with different ventilation-perfusion ratios) and a shunt compartment. As inspired oxygen concentration and oxygen consumption are...
