Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Experimental: All patients

All patients included in this study according to stated inclusion and exclusion criteria.

Biological: Blood flow to the tracheo-bronchial mucosa
Measurement of blood flow to the tracheo-bronchial mucosa via differential absorption of diluted dimethyl ether tracer gas.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. The reproducibility of two measures of Qaw at a five minute interval [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 Outcome Measures

  1. The time necessary to complete one measure of Qaw (minutes) [Day 1]

    Qaw = blood flow measured in the tracheobronchial mucosa
