Pathophysiology of gas exchange impairment in extreme prematurity: Insights from combining volumetric capnography and measurements of ventilation/perfusion ratio
BackgroundInfants born extremely preterm often suffer from respiratory disease and are invasively ventilated. We aimed to test the hypothesis that gas exchange in ventilated extremely preterm infants occurs both at the level of the alveoli and via mixing of fresh deadspace gas in the airways.Methods...
