Modelling the effect of gravity on inert‐gas washout outputs

Multiple‐breath washout (MBW) is a pulmonary function test (PFT) that is used to infer lung function through measurement of ventilation heterogeneity (VH). However, the body position that a test is taken in may also influence VH, due to the “Slinky” effect of gravity on the lungs. In healthy subject...
