Closed circuit rebreathing to achieve inert gas wash-in for multiple breath wash-out

Multiple breath wash-out (MBW) testing requires prior wash-in of inert tracer gas. Wash-in efficiency can be enhanced by a rebreathing tracer in a closed circuit. Previous attempts to deploy this did not account for the impact of CO(2) accumulation on patients and were unsuccessful. We hypothesised...
