HOW DOES IT WORK?
• In a fluid or gas filled circuit, pressure applied at any point is felt equally throughout the circuit
• This assumption must be true for results to be valid

WHY CALCULATE LUNG VOLUMES
o A restrictive ventilatory defect is characterized by a reduction in TLC
o below the 5th percentile of the predicted value
o Below the lower limits of normal

ERS/ATS: The presence of a restrictive ventilatory defect may be suspected when VC is reduced.
A reduced VC by itself does not prove a restrictive ventilatory defect.

• Thoracic Gas Volume (TGV) also called FRCpleth – the volume of air in the lungs at the end of a normal exhalation
• We are after Total Lung Capacity (TLC); however,
TLC is not measured directly.

DETERMINATION OF FRC
o ACCP Scientific Section Recommendation:o In patients with airway obstruction the
dilution method underestimates the thoracic gas volume to the extent that depends on the severity of the obstruction. The plethysmographic method measures the total compressible gas including that of poorly ventilated areas.

PLETHYSMOGRAPHY VS. DILUTION
o Decreases test time –oOne N2 washout or helium dilution can
take up to 7-8 minutes. If you have to repeat, this takes an additional 7-8 minutes after waiting for gas to clear lungs
o Plethysmography can perform several efforts in 3 minutes
