tidal breathing model of the inert gas sinewave technique for inhomogeneous lungs
JP Whiteley‚ DJ Gavaghan and CEW Hahn
Abstract
The tidal breathing model conservation of mass equations for the sinewave technique have been described for a homogeneous alveolar compartment by Gavaghan and Hahn, 1996 [Gavaghan, D.J., Hahn, C.E.W., 1996. A tidal breathing model of the forced inspired gas sinewave technique. Respir. Physiol. 106, 209-221]. We develop these equations first to a multi-discrete alveolar compartment lung model and then to a lung model with a continuous distribution of volume, ventilation and perfusion. The effect on the output parameters of a multi-compartment model is discussed, and the results are compared to those derive
