Lung lymph drainage.
This presentation was intended as a brief review of two principally different approaches to studies on pulmonary lymphatic drainage. When selecting an experimental model, we have to choose between either sampling of pure lung lymph thereby sacrificing information about whole organ fluid balance, or emphasize dynamic fluid balance for the whole lung at the expense of obtaining pure lung lymph. Both approaches can be seen as fruitful and complementary strategies to obtain relevant information on pulmonary pathophysiology.
