Fig. 1From: Generalized estimation of the ventilatory distribution from the multiple-breath washout: a bench evaluation studyRepresentation of the experimental setup. The physical models are shown as photos with the anesthetic balloons at end-expiration. The components of the series dead space are represented by schematic drawings. The Y-piece of the ventilatory circuit was connected directly to the gas sampling piece. Note that the gas is sampled close to the capnometer chamber to avoid inspiratory/expiratory delay changesBack to article page
