mathematical evaluation of the multiple breath nitrogen washout (MBNW) technique and the multiple inert gas elimination technique (MIGET)

We consider two and 50 compartment lung models for use with two techniques used to investigate the efficiency of the lungs: the Multiple Breath Nitrogen Washout (MBNW) technique used for investigating the ventilation-volume distribution; and the Multiple Inert Gas Elimination Technique (MIGET) used...

description We consider two and 50 compartment lung models for use with two techniques used to investigate the efficiency of the lungs: the Multiple Breath Nitrogen Washout (MBNW) technique used for investigating the ventilation-volume distribution; and the Multiple Inert Gas Elimination Technique (MIGET) used for investigating the ventilation-perfusion distribution. In each of these techniques pulmonary respiratory gas exchange is described by conservation of mass equations which may be written in identical form, and in each the underlying distributions of ventilation to volume and ventilation to perfusion are assumed
