Modelling the effect of gravity on inert-gas washout outputs
Multiple-breath washout (MBW) is a pulmonary function test (PFT) that is used to infer lung function through measurement of ventilation heterogeneity (VH). However, the body position that a test is taken in may also influence VH, due to the `Slinky' effect of gravity on the lungs. In healthy su...
