Functional dead space in children with cystic fibrosis or primary ciliary dyskinesia.

Published: Sep 15, 2018
Abstract
Background: Lung clearance index (LCI) derived from multiple-breath washout (MBW) is related to functional dead space in adults with cystic fibrosis (CF). We hypothesized that LCI is largely explained by functional dead space in children. Methods: In this retrospective study, 50 school-aged children performed nitrogen (N2) MBW. We assessed functional dead space volume expressed as % of tidal volume (VDF/VT%) in 20 children...
