Anatomic Dead Space Cannot Be Predicted by Body Weight [PDF]

, 2007
Anatomic, airway, or tracheal, dead space is the part of the tidal volume that does not participate in gas exchange. Knowledge of the size of the dead space is important for proper mechanical ventilation, especially if small tidal volumes are used ...

Fabrication Routes for Ionic Conducting Fiber Strain Sensors

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Ionic conducting fiber strain sensors (ICFSs) offer compliant, textile‐integrable sensing. Thus far, the commercialization of ICFSs has been constrained by fiber fabrication routes. This review provides a fabrication‐centric analysis of ICFSs correlating processing strategies with material properties and scalability.

Corrections of Enghoffs dead space formula for shunt effects still overestimate Bohr's dead space

, 2013
Dead space ratio is determined using Enghoffs modification (VDB-E/V-T) of Bohr's formula (V-DBohr/V-T) in which arterial is used as a surrogate of alveolar PCO2. In presence of intrapulmonary shunt Enghoffs approach overestimates dead space.
