cord-005774-7z6uyn6p	Hammer, J.	Infant lung function testing in the intensive care unit	1995		.txt	text/plain	5005	232	45	This review will focus on techniques which are used to measure thoracoabdominal asynchrony, tidal breathing flow-volume loops, small airway function (forced expiratory maneuvers), respiratory mechanics and lung volumes in critically ill infants and children. In 1989, Shannon [49] proposed in this Journal that the minimum physiological information needed for the intelligent use of mechanical ventilation (particularly if lower airway and/or pulmonary parenchymal disease was apparent) required the measurement of at least 4 variables: i) arterial partial pressure of carbon dioxide; ii) arterial oxygen saturation; iii) the mechanical time constant of the lung and iv) FRC.
