Estimating the effect of lung collapse and pulmonary shunt on gas exchange during breath-hold diving: The Scholander and Kooyman legacy

We developed a mathematical model to investigate the effect of lung compression and collapse (pulmonary shunt) on the uptake and removal Of O-2, CO2 and N-2 in blood and tissue of breath-hold diving mammals. We investigated the consequences of pressure (diving depth) and respiratory Volume on pulmon...
