Tidal Volume Single Breath Washout of Two Tracer Gases - A Practical and Promising Lung Function Test

BACKGROUND: Small airway disease frequently occurs in chronic lung diseases and may cause ventilation inhomogeneity (VI), which can be assessed by washout tests of inert tracer gas. Using two tracer gases with unequal molar mass (MM) and diffusivity increases specificity for VI in different lung zon...
