Abstract: Established methods of measuring functional residual capacity (FRC) involve sophisticated equipment and elaborate procedures. Here we present a new method based on CO2 rebreathing that has a simple fast procedure and only requires end-tidal CO2… read more here.

Abstract: BACKGROUND Premature infants are born with immature lungs that demonstrate abnormal pulmonary function with differences in passive respiratory system compliance and resistance, and functional residual capacity. To our knowledge, no studies have evaluated differences in… read more here.
