Nitrogen washout/washin, helium dilution and computed tomography in the assessment of end expiratory lung volume

INTRODUCTION: End expiratory lung volume (EELV) measurement in the clinical setting is routinely performed using the helium dilution technique. A ventilator that implements a simplified version of the nitrogen washout/washin technique is now available. We compared the EELV measured by spiral compute...
