Influence of acclimatization time on barometric whole‐body plethysmography in cats with lower airway disease [PDF]
Background Barometric whole‐body plethysmography (BWBP) is used as a noninvasive method to assess lung function in cats with lower airway disease (LAD).

plethy: management of whole body plethysmography data in R. [PDF]
Characterization of respiratory phenotypes can enhance complex trait and genomic studies involving allergic/autoimmune and infectious diseases. Many aspects of respiration can be measured using devices known as plethysmographs that can measure thoracic movement.

Evaluation of Stress Scores of Healthy Adult Cats during Barometric Whole-Body Plethysmography and Its Correlation with Measurement Parameters [PDF]
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.

OBJECTIVE: To compare TLC and RV values obtained by the single-breath helium dilution (SBHD) method with those obtained by whole-body plethysmography (WBP) in patients with normal lung function, patients with obstructive lung disease (OLD), and patients ...

Assessing breathing effort by barometric whole‐body plethysmography and its relationship with prognosis in client‐owned cats with respiratory distress [PDF]
Background 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]
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.

Whole-body plethysmography revisited [PDF]
Abstract 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, reaching from pulmonary diseases to complex neurological syndromes.
