Evaluation of a computer program for non-invasive determination of pulmonary shunt and ventilation-perfusion mismatch.

We describe a three-compartment model (shunt and two perfused compartments) to analyse the relationship between inspired oxygen (FIO2) and arterial oxygen saturation (SaO2) in terms of pulmonary shunt and ventilation-perfusion ratio (VA/Q). The program was tested using 24 exact datasets, each with s...
