Anesthesiology, November 2025, DOI: 10.1097/ALN.0000000000005807 Summary:This study examined how the capnogram phase III slope (SIII)—a bedside measure anesthesiologists often interpret as a marker of V̇A/Q̇ mismatch—actually corresponds to true ventilation and perfusion distribution in the lung. Using a rabbit model of acute methacholine-induced bronchoconstriction and synchrotron radiation K-edge subtraction imaging, […]
