Abstract: Scond is a multiple breath washout (MBW) index that measures convection‐dependent ventilation inhomogeneity (CDI) arising within conductive airways, but the calculation method is unreliable in subjects with advanced cystic fibrosis (CF) lung disease. A new… read more here.

Abstract: Abstract Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia (CDH) is a serious newborn defect requiring mechanical ventilation. Initial ventilation settings should take into account the severity of lungs inhomogeneity (LI), but it is not assessed in everyday clinical practice.… read more here.

Abstract: BACKGROUND Bronchial epithelial reticular basement membrane (RBM) thickening occurs in diseases with both eosinophilic [allergic bronchial asthma (AB)] and neutrophilic [cystic fibrosis (CF), primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD)] chronic airway inflammation; however, lung function and airway… read more here.

DOI: 10.1183/1393003.congress-2017.pa2247
Abstract: A bronchoconstrictor or bronchodilator response to exercise has been documented in cystic fibrosis. This could alter the distribution of ventilation, but no data are available. Overall ventilation inhomogeneity can be quantified by the slope of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1183/23120541.00440-2021
Abstract: Background Volumetric capnography (VCap) is a simpler alternative to multiple-breath washout (MBW) to detect ventilation inhomogeneity in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF). However, its diagnostic performance is influenced by breathing dynamics. We introduce two novel… read more here.
