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.

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

Evaluation of barometric whole-body plethysmography for therapy monitoring in cats with feline lower airway disease. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2022 ObjectivesFeline lower airway disease (FLAD) is a common respiratory condition in cats. Traditionally, response to therapy is monitored only by evaluation of clinical signs and radiographic examination of the lungs. Barometric whole-body plethysmography (

Can the single-breath alveolar volume be adjusted to estimate true total lung capacity? [PDF]
European Clinical Respiratory JournalBackground 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.
