Pneumotachograph
8430B PNT/HTRSHELL/CONN ASSY
Details
Device typePneumotachograph: A device designed to graphically record the instantaneous flow (velocity) of air at the mouth or, using an integrated signal, the volume of air per breath during inspiration or expiration. This recorder consists of a resistance attachment (e.g., wire screen or capillary tubes) placed in a tube in which the respiratory gases flow, the pressure drop being linearly related to airflow velocity. It is used for displaying the dynamics of respiration, and also can be used, in conjunction with an oesophageal balloon, to measure static lung compliance or airway resistance in conjunction with a whole-body plethysmograph.
