In the future, diagnostic devices will be able to monitor a patient’s physiological or biochemical
parameters continuously, under natural physiological conditions and in any environment …

Assessing respiratory mechanics and muscle function is critical for both clinical practice and
research purposes. Several methodological developments over the past two decades have …

We used optoelectronic plethysmography to study 11 normal subjects during quiet and deep
breathing, six sedated and paralyzed patients with acute lung injury and acute respiratory …

Although the measurement of pulmonary ventilation by a spirometer or a pneumotachograph
may appear to be a simple procedure, it is much more complicated than most realize. …
