The degree of specific ventilatory heterogeneity (spatial unevenness of ventilation) of the
lung is a useful marker of early structural lung changes which has the potential to detect …

Background Within-breath oscillations in arterial oxygen tension (PaO2) can be detected
using fast responding intra-arterial oxygen sensors in animal models. These PaO2 signals …

Background Real-time bedside information on regional ventilation and perfusion during
mechanical ventilation (MV) may help to elucidate the physiological and pathophysiological …

Background Bedside measurement of lung volume may provide guidance in the
personalised setting of respiratory support, especially in patients with the acute respiratory …

Introduction Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a leading cause of respiratory
failure, with substantial attributable morbidity and mortality. The small animal models that are …

The inspired sinewave technique (IST) is a non-invasive nonionising method which can
measure accurately lung parameters. Six anaesthetised pigs were studied after surfactant …

The lung is a complex organ. The most familiar and significant lung disease, chronic
obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), can be severely debilitating. Additionally, acute lung …

The acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) affects 24.4% of all patients requiring
mechanical ventilation and has an associated mortality of up to 46%. The complex …
