Transport of gases in high-frequency ventilation
Critical Care Medicine
|September 1, 1984
Abstract:
We found that the transport of gases in oscillating gas columns was proportional to oscillation frequency and the square of oscillation amplitude. When these results were applied to high-frequency oscillation and high-frequency jet ventilation in dogs, alveolar ventilation was proportional to frequency and to the square of tidal volume, and inversely proportional to anatomic dead space.
