Noninvasive ventilation in stable hypercapnic COPD: what is the evidence?
ERJ Open Research, 2018 Long-term noninvasive ventilation (NIV) to treat chronic hypercapnic respiratory failure is still controversial in severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients. However, with the introduction of high-intensity NIV, important benefits from

Pulmonary circulation and ventilation [PDF]
Postgraduate Medical Journal, 1974 Summary The pulmonary circuit receives the whole of the cardiac output, and the flow through it is governed by events in the systemic circulation. Its function is gaseous exchange, and the low resistance and high capacitance of the circuit is subservient to this function.

Ventilation inhomogeneity in patients with cystic fibrosis measured by electrical impedance tomography [PDF]
, 2012 Objective: The distribution of ventilation within the lung is inhomogeneous. We hypothesized that the degree of inhomogeneity in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) differs from that in healthy subjects.

Predictive significance of the six-minute walk distance for long-term survival in chronic hypercapnic respiratory failure [PDF]
, 2007 Background: The 6-min walk distance ( 6-MWD) is a global marker of functional capacity and prognosis in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease ( COPD), but less explored in other chronic respiratory diseases.

European Journal of Hybrid Imaging, 2021 Background Pulmonary embolism is indicated by ventilation/perfusion (V/P) mismatches in ventilation/perfusion scintigraphy. However, other pathologies may also evoke segmental or lobar mismatches. Thus, diagnosis can be difficult in asymptomatic patients
