title: A spirometer for the continuous measurement of expired tidal volume.
abstract: A spirometer is described for the continuous breath-by-breath measurement of expired tidal volume (VE). This spirometer differs from other similar equipment in using a pneumotachograph to define the duration of the inspiratory phase.
