The physiological basis and clinical significance of lung volume measurements. [PDF]
Multidiscip Respir Med, 2017 From a physiological standpoint, the lung volumes are either dynamic or static. Both subclasses are measured at different degrees of inspiration or expiration; however, dynamic lung volumes are characteristically dependent on the rate of air flow.

The repeatability of computed tomography lung volume measurements: Comparisons in healthy subjects, patients with obstructive lung disease, and patients with restrictive lung disease. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 In this study, we examined the repeatability of computed tomography (CT) lung volume measurements in healthy individuals and patients with obstructive and restrictive lung diseases. To do this, we retrospectively enrolled 200 healthy individuals (group 1)

Flow-Volume Parameters in COPD Related to Extended Measurements of Lung Volume, Diffusion, and Resistance [PDF]
Pulmonary Medicine, 2013 Classification of COPD into different GOLD stages is based on forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV1) and forced vital capacity (FVC) but has shown to be of limited value.

Lung volume measurements [PDF]
European Respiratory Journal, 2008 To the Editor: I read with interest the impressive paper by Cazzola et al. 1 in a recent issue of the European Respiratory Journal . However, I felt somewhat uneasy reading the recommendations on lung volume measurements, i.e. closing circuit dilution …

Lung volume measurements in infants with and without chronic lung disease [PDF]
European Journal of Pediatrics, 1998 Infants born prematurely who develop chronic lung disease (CLD) have airways obstruction and hence may have low lung volume. The aim of this study was to test that hypothesis and ascertain whether the nature of the comparison control group influenced the results.

Supine posture changes lung volumes and increases ventilation heterogeneity in cystic fibrosis. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 Lung Clearance Index (LCI) is recognised as an early marker of cystic fibrosis (CF) lung disease. The effect of posture on LCI however is important when considering longitudinal measurements from infancy and when comparing LCI to imaging studies.35 ...

Accuracy and precision of end-expiratory lung-volume measurements by automated nitrogen washout/washin technique in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome [PDF]
Critical Care, 2011 IntroductionEnd-expiratory lung volume (EELV) is decreased in acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), and bedside EELV measurement may help to set positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP).
