Abstract
Recently, the combined use of the bronchofiberscope and mass spectrometry has made it possible to examine human respiratory function without having to resort to methods based on the use of radioactive substances. In fact, by having a patient inhale air containing small amounts of two gases - one soluble in the blood (FREON 22) and the other insoluble (ARGON) - into the segment of the lung under examination, it is possible using mass spectrometry, to follow, in the successive expiratory phase, variations in the concentrations of the two gases and thereby to obtain information on the functional behavior of a specific lung sector.
