Evaluation of Stress Scores of Healthy Adult Cats during Barometric Whole-Body Plethysmography and Its Correlation with Measurement Parameters. [PDF]
Animals (Basel)Barometric whole-body plethysmography (BWBP) is considered to be a particularly gentle method of assessing lung function in cats. However, there have been no studies to date investigating the stress experienced by cats during measurements.

Assessing breathing effort by barometric whole-body plethysmography and its relationship with prognosis in client-owned cats with respiratory distress. [PDF]
J Vet Intern MedBackground Cats in respiratory distress have limited tolerance for manipulation, hindering clinical monitoring. Minute volume (MV) can be utilized to rate dyspnea in humans, but its relationship with respiratory distress in cats remains poorly ...

Can the single-breath alveolar volume be adjusted to estimate true total lung capacity? [PDF]
Eur Clin Respir JBackground 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.

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 ...
