Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

The reproducibility of two measures of Qaw at a five minute interval

Time Frame: Five minutes

Qaw is the blood flow measured in the tracheobronchial mucosa. Qaw = VDME/(FDME\*alpha\*10s) where VDME is the volume of dimethyl-ether exhaled (ml), FDME is the mean concentration of dimethyl-ether (%), alpha is the Bunsen coefficient for the dissolution of dimethyl ether in tissues and blood at 37°C (i.e. 9ml/ml).

Secondary Outcomes

  • The time necessary to complete one measure of Qaw (minutes)(Day 1)
