Pulmonary gas exchange during facemask ventilation immediately after birth.

Understanding pulmonary gas exchange: ventilation-perfusion relationships.

This essay looks at the historical significance of four APS classic papers that are freely available online: Fenn WO, Rahn H, and OTIS AB. A theoretical study of the composition of the alveolar air at altitude. Am J Physiol 146: 637-653. 1946 (http://ajplegacy.physiology.org/cgi/reprint/146/5/637). Rahn H. A concept of mean alveolar air and the ventilation-bloodflow relationships during pulmona...

Pulmonary ventilation and gas exchange in bronchiectasis.

Regional ventilation and gas exchange after hemicorporectomy.

Bake, B. and Grimby, G. (1974). Thorax, 29, 366-370. Regional ventilation and gas exchange after hemicorporectomy. Maximum expiratory flow volume curves, gas exchange, closing volume, and regional distribution of lung volumes and ventilation were measured in a young man after hemicorporectomy. The patient breathed at low lung volume, close to residual volume, and his total lung capacity was 63%...

Gas exchange during mechanical ventilation and spontaneous breathing. Intermittent mandatory ventilation after open heart surgery.

Pulmonary gas exchange rates in eight patients after open heart surgery were studied during weaning from the ventilator. We investigated continuous positive pressure ventilation (CPPV), intermittent mandatory ventilation (IMV) and spontaneous breathing with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP). During each mode of ventilation we measured: CO2 production (VCO2), O2 consumption (VO2), cardi...
