Accuracy of Whole-Body Plethysmography Requires Biological Calibration [PDF]

open access: yesChest, 2009
Specific airway resistance (sRaw) measured by whole-body plethysmography in young children is increasingly used in research and clinical practice. The method is precise and feasible. However, there is no available method for calibration of the resistance measure, which raises concern of accuracy.

Whole Body Plethysmography: Practical Considerations [PDF]

open access: yesPaediatric Respiratory Reviews, 2016
Pediatric pulmonary plethysmography is an important tool used in the diagnosis of lung diseases. Understanding the physiology underlying the functioning of the test can aid the health care provider in its interpretation. The following article reviews the basic science behind whole body plethysmography, and provides an overview of the types of ...

Evaluation of respiratory function by barometric whole-body plethysmography in healthy dogs [PDF]

open access: yesThe Veterinary Journal, 2006
The objective of the present study was to assess the validity of barometric whole-body plethysmography (BWBP), to establish reference values, and to standardise a bronchoprovocative test to investigate airway responsiveness using BWBP in healthy dogs.

Barometric whole body plethysmography in mice

Journal of Applied Physiology, 2005
There has been significant utilization of the technique described by Hamelmann et al. ( Am J Respir Crit Care Med 156: 766–775, 1997) in which a parameter, enhanced pause (Penh), related to airways responsiveness is noninvasively measured by unrestrained plethysmography (UP). Investigating this technique, we sought to answer these questions: 1) How do

Precision of measurement and body size in whole-body air-displacement plethysmography

International Journal of Obesity, 2001
To investigate methodological and biological precision for air-displacement plethysmography (ADP) across a wide range of body size.Repeated measurements of body volume (BV) and body weight (WT), and derived estimates of density (BD) and indices of fat mass (FM) and fat-free mass (FFM).Sixteen men, aged 22--48 y; 12 women, aged 24--42 y; 13 boys, aged 5-
