Rheospirography for determination of respiratory volume.
The method of rheospirography was investigated in 26 voluntary test persons. By means of a spirometric measuring method and after calibration, quantitative statements about size and changes of respiratory minute volume and inspiratory volume could also be evaluated. Computerizing the computation method, rheospirography is suitable for long-term monitoring in intensive care patients.
