Abstract
According to Fick's law of diffusion, gas exchange depends on the size and thickness of the blood perfused alveolocapillary membrane. Impairment of either one is tenuous. No data are available concerning the impact of hydroxyethyl starches and saline on pulmonary microperfusion and gas exchange during systemic inflammation.
