title: An artifact induced by negative pressure ventilation.
abstract: This report draws attention to an artifact that influences the qualitative information gained from respiratory inductance plethysmography during negative pressure ventilation with a cuirass. This artifact may prevent identification of upper airway obstruction, a manageable complication of this mode of ventilation.
