Abstract
There is a significant disagreement between the results published about gas exchange in high frequency ventilation (HFV). Different authors advocate different frequencies as optimal. These conflicting results are often caused by significant differences in equipment used for high frequency ventilation. In addition, various theoretical papers try to establish at what frequency there is no more convection but only diffusion of gases in the lungs.
