The effect of changing ventilator settings on indices of ventilation inhomogeneity in small ventilated lungs

BACKGROUND: In ventilated newborns the use of multiple breath washout (MBW) techniques for measuring both lung volume and ventilation inhomogeneity (VI) is hampered by the comparatively high dead space fraction. We studied how changes in ventilator settings affected VI indices in this particular pop...
