A comparison of helium dilution and plethysmography in measuring static lung volumes

A comparison of helium dilution and plethysmography in measuring static lung volumes

In order to examine the usefulness of the multi breath helium dilution method (MB) it was compared to the single breath helium dilution method (SB) and body plethysmography (BP). Residual volume (RV), total lung capacity (TLC) and vital capacity (VC) were measured in seventeen subjects with obstruct...
