Abstract:
A method for determining respiratory function in subjects, as well as the apparatus thus employed. The method involves blocking exhalation while the subject inhales spontaneously. Increased volume in the lungs and face mask pressure are measured to determine respiratory compliance. When the exhalation block or occlusion is removed, flow of exhaled air and volume changes in the lungs are measured to determine the time constant. The relationship between time constant and respiratory compliance permits determination of respiratory resistance.
