This thesis comprises studies of gas transfer in the lungs during mechanical ventilation, which have been obtained in healthy pigs. The objectives of this thesis were: I) to adapt the breath-holding teclmique, as used during spontaneous breathing for estimation of gas transfer, to conditions of mechanical ventilation; and 2) to evaluate the effect of changes in lung volume on pulmonary gas transfer and capillary blood volume.
