Optimization of a Semi-Closed Circuit for a New Way of Heliox Application in COPD Exacerbation Patients
Original language description
To decrease a work of breathing in patients with COPD, ventilation with a heliox can be used. Physical characteristics of helium enable an easier gas flow through the airways compared with air. A limiting factor for using heliox in clinical practice is ahigh cost of helium. To minimize consumption of helium, a semi-closed circuit has been developed. As the semi-closed circuit has its own resistance, a proper evaluation of heliox effect and its deterioration due to the circuit resistance is essential. Fraction of O2 and CO2 in expired gas was measured as an indicator of change in work of breathing.
