Indicator Dilution Measurements of Lung Volumes and Alveolar Air Exchange During Breathing

Abstract

A new triple tracer indicator dilution technique has been used to measure alveolar ventilation as well as air and tissue volumes in the lungs of experimental animals and man. The tracers indocyanine green, [121I]antipyrine and xenon-133 were rapidly injected into the right atrium, while sampling was carried out from a peripheral artery.
