Precision of measurement and body size in whole-body air-displacement plethysmography
International Journal of Obesity, 2001To 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-

Infant Whole-Body Plethysmography
2005Measurement of lung volume is an important part of infant lung function testing both for assessing growth and development of the lungs in health and disease, and for interpretation of volume ...

Use of Whole-Body Plethysmography to Compare Bronchodilator Inhaler Efficacy
Respiration, 1998Whole-body plethysmography is not included in guidelines from regulatory authorities for the development of treatments or delivery devices for lung disease, despite its potential advantages compared to spirometry. Two separate studies were undertaken to assess the use of specific airway conductance (sG<sub>aw</sub>) as a pharmacodynamic ...

An improvement in whole body plethysmography.
The American review of respiratory disease, 1975A simple method for greatly reducing thermal drift and acoustic noise in constant-volume, whole body plethysmography is described. Evaluation and adjustment for any particular clinical application can be carried out in a few moments. The device itself consists of a 20- to 25-gauge needle, a "Y" tube, and a 1-liter or more vessel, and may be assembled ...

Whole-Body Plethysmography in the Clinical Assessment of Infants with Bronchopulmonary Diseases
Respiration, 2009Infant whole-body plethysmography offers a unique possibility of measuring end-expiratory resting level (thoracic gas volume; TGV), and hence lung volume in its close interrelationship to airway function (airway resistance; R<sub>aw</sub>, its reciprocal value, airway conductance, G<sub>aw</sub>).

Whole-body plethysmography is considered the "gold standard" for intrathoracic gas volume measurements and the measurement of specific airway resistance. These parameters are essential to assess a restrictive impairment, overinflation of the lungs and airflow obstruction.

[Evaluation of airway resistance determined by whole-body plethysmography].
Biulleten' eksperimental'noi biologii i meditsiny, 1989Methods of estimation of the airway resistance by flow-pressure curve obtained in whole-body plethysmography are investigated. The analysis of the physical processes controlling the flow-limitation during expiration shows that these methods are useful only for healthy subjects for the estimation of the airway resistance.

[Whole body plethysmography for determining intrathoracic gas volume].
Pneumologie (Stuttgart, Germany), 1994For early diagnosis of lung diseases the plethysmographic measurement of IGV is important. The influences of gases in the abdomen as the influences of pressure swings between mouth and alveolar space were several times investigated and did not show clinical relevance.
