Barometric whole-body plethysmography investigating breed-specific variations in dogs [PDF]

Frontiers in Veterinary Science
IntroductionBarometric whole-body plethysmography (BWBP) is a non-invasive method for pulmonary function testing in dogs. A significant advantage over other techniques is the possibility to perform measurements in awake and unrestrained animals ...

Measuring Breathing Patterns in Mice Using Whole-body Plethysmography

Bio-Protocol, 2020
Respiratory dysfunction is among the main cause of severe and fatal pathologies worldwide. The use of effective experimental models and methodologies for the study of the pulmonary pathophysiology is necessary to prevent, control and cure these diseases.

Characterisation of Brachycephalic Obstructive Airway Syndrome in French Bulldogs Using Whole-Body Barometric Plethysmography. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
Brachycephalic obstructive airway syndrome (BOAS) is an important health and welfare problem in several popular dog breeds. Whole-body barometric plethysmography (WBBP) is a non-invasive method that allows safe and repeated quantitative measurements of ...

Automated Classification of Whole Body Plethysmography Waveforms to Quantify Breathing Patterns [PDF]

Frontiers in Physiology, 2021
Whole body plethysmography (WBP) monitors respiratory rate and depth but conventional analysis fails to capture the diversity of waveforms. Our first purpose was to develop a waveform cluster analysis method for quantifying dynamic changes in respiratory

Whole‐Body Barometric Plethysmography Characterizes Upper Airway Obstruction in 3 Brachycephalic Breeds of Dogs [PDF]

Journal of Veterinary Internal Medicine, 2016
Background A novel test using whole‐body barometric plethysmography (WBBP) was developed recently to diagnose brachycephalic obstructive airway syndrome (BOAS) in unsedated French bulldogs.

A importância do estudo da difusão alvéolo-capilar, como complemento da pletismografia, na avaliação funcional de fumadores [PDF]

Revista Portuguesa de Pneumologia, 2007
Resumo: Foram estudados 194 casos de fumadores e exfumadores (≥ 1 UMA), de ambos os sexos e idades compreendidas entre os 20 e os 82 anos, tendo sido excluídos doentes detentores de patologias ou antecedentes profissionais de risco.

Can the single-breath alveolar volume be adjusted to estimate true total lung capacity? [PDF]

European Clinical Respiratory Journal
Background Total lung capacity (TLC) measured with single-breath gas diffusion (TLCsb) is systematically lower than TLC measured with whole-body plethysmography (TLCwbp) especially in patients with obstructive defects.

Comparison of lung volumes measured with computed tomography and whole-body plethysmography – a systematic review [PDF]

European Clinical Respiratory Journal
Introduction Whole-body plethysmography is the preferred method for measuring the static lung volumes: total lung capacity (TLC), functional residual capacity (FRC) and residual volume (RV), as it also incorporates trapped gas – a common finding in ...

Whole-body plethysmography revisited [PDF]

, 2021
AbstractWhole-body plethysmography (WBP) is an established method to determine physiological parameters and pathophysiological alteration of breathing in animals and animal models of a variety of diseases, reaching from pulmonary diseases to complex neurological syndromes. Although frequently used, there is ongoing debate about what exactly is measured

Evaluation of a mechanical lung model to test small animal whole body plethysmography

Scientific Reports, 2021
Whole-body plethysmography (WBP) is an established method to determine physiological parameters and pathophysiological alteration of breathing in animals and animal models of a variety of diseases.
