Literature Review of the Effects of Helium on the Mechanics of Respiration, with Clinical Correlations
Abstract
A review of the pertinent literature relating to the physiology of ventilatory dynamics using helium-oxygen breathing mixtures is presented together with conclusions regarding the indications and contraindications for their use in clinical medicine. A review of relevant studies in diving medicine is included because of the clarification which these investigations lend to problems of pulmonary ventilation. The bibliography is representative but not all-inclusive.
