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)

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

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 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.

Plethysmographic measurements of lung volume and airway resistance [PDF]
European Respiratory Journal, 2001 Functional residual capacity (FRC) is the only static lung volume that can be measured routinely in infants. It is important for interpreting volume-dependent pulmonary mechanics such as airway resistance or forced expiratory flows, and for defining ...

Lung volume measurements as a surrogate marker for patient response in malignant pleural mesothelioma. [PDF]
J Thorac Oncol, 2013 Introduction: The purpose of this study was to investigate the continuous changes in three distinct response assessment methods during treatment as a marker of response for patients with mesothelioma.

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).

Reproducibility of lung volume measurements.
European Respiratory Journal, 1998 Test reproducibility is an important consideration when interpreting results and should be set as a goal during data collection. Reproducibility criteria may need to be different for different subject groups and are instrument and procedure-dependent ...

The correlation between lung volume and liver herniation measurements by fetal MRI in isolated congenital diaphragmatic hernia: a systematic review and meta‐analysis of observational studies [PDF]
Prenatal Diagnosis, 2011 We conducted a meta‐analysis to assess the correlation of lung volume and liver position measured by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with survival until discharge in fetuses with isolated congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH).
