Heliox improves pulmonary mechanics in a pediatric porcine model of induced severe bronchospasm and independent lung mechanical ventilation

BACKGROUND: A helium-oxygen gas mixture (heliox) has low gas density and low turbulence and resistance through narrowed airways. The effects of heliox on pulmonary mechanics following severe methacholine-induced bronchospasm were investigated and compared to those of a nitrogen-oxygen gas mixture (n...
