A realistic validation study of a new nitrogen multiple-breath washout system.

<h4>Background</h4>For reliable assessment of ventilation inhomogeneity, multiple-breath washout (MBW) systems should be realistically validated. We describe a new lung model for in vitro validation under physiological conditions and the assessment of a new nitrogen (N(2))MBW system.<...
