Abstract

The perfusion limitation for nitrogen suggests that its exchange rate is notably increased by inflammation from increased mucosal blood flow. Targeting inflammation for therapy of persistent ME effusions may decrease the rate of nitrogen exchange and reestablish normal ME pressure regulation.
