Kfbld:=Kfair/Kbair; #Calculated fat/blood partition coefficient
This inequality is almost certainly caused by the classic "washin-washout" artifact that has been described for gases with large blood/air partition (Kbair) coefficients [ 47 59 60 61 62 63 64 65 ] . This artifact is created when, during inspiration, the high concentration gas dissolves in the tissues of the bronchial tree, and then, during expiration, moves back into the air, raising the end tidal concentration above the alveolar values.
There are 2 reasons: 1) Only the washout data was modeled so that one would expect only a small (13%) error; and 2) This small error in the washout data was not present because the value of Kbair that was used for this modeling (Table I, Pierce et al [ 32 ] ) was determined from the experimental ratios of the blood/end tidal air for each subject, and, thus, automatically compensated for this artifact.
The partition coefficients used in these calculations were the standard literature values: Kbair = 2.32 (Munsen et al.
[ 35 ] . Since Kwair is not input, PKQuest estimates Kwair using Kbair and Kfbld and the default fat content of blood (klip [vein]).
