Heliox Improves Carbon Dioxide Removal during Lung Protective Mechanical Ventilation

Introduction. Helium is a noble gas with low density and increased carbon dioxide (CO(2)) diffusion capacity. This allows lower driving pressures in mechanical ventilation and increased CO(2) diffusion. We hypothesized that heliox facilitates ventilation in patients during lung-protective mechanical...
