Abstract
HFOV (High Frequency Oscillatory Ventilation) is known as one of effective methods of the artificial ventilation. Pendelluft flow has been predicted as one of gas exchange mechanism by HFOV. However, detailed experimental analysis of the pendelluft flow has not been carried out because of experimental difficulties. The recent development of experimental technique overcame the difficulties, and the flow patterns of the pendelluft generated in bronchiole have been analyzed experimentally. In this report, time series measurement of the penndelluft flow generated in a micro-channel as a model of respiratory bronchiole by using micro-PIV technique.
