Evaluation of estimates of alveolar gas exchange by using a tidally ventilated nonhomogenous lung model.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate algorithms for estimating O2 and CO2 transfer at the pulmonary capillaries by use of a nine-compartment tidally ventilated lung model that incorporated inhomogeneities in ventilation-to-volume and ventilation-to-perfusion ratios. Breath-to-breath O2 and CO2...
