They become alveolar dead space.

It differs from anatomical dead space as measured by Fowler's method as it includes alveolar dead space.

There should be edema fluid in the alveolar spaces with disproportionate autolytic change of the respiratory epithelium.

By quantifying this dilution it is possible to measure anatomical and alveolar dead space, employing the concept of mass balance, as expressed by Bohr equation.

When the poorly perfused alveoli empty at the same rate as the normal alveoli, it is possible to measure the alveolar dead space.

Monitoring alveolar dead space during a surgical operation is a sensitive and important tool in monitoring airway function.

Simply, it is defined as alveolar space that contains liquid instead of gas.

Vascular leakage into the alveolar space with pulmonary edema ensues.

Large alveolar macrophages with blue precipitates were also seen in some of the alveolar spaces.

Surface tension forces also draw fluid from capillaries to the alveolar spaces.
