Device typePulmonary function analysis system, paediatric: A computerized instrument designed to assess lung volume, flow, and mechanical parameters (including airway compliance and resistance) in young children and infants. It is different from an adult version in absolute dimensions and in the special procedures required for adaption to the pediatric patient (e.g., use of a small constant-volume chamber in which the infant reclines for plethysmography, use of a pressure jacket to obtain forced exhalation); also, parameters that require subject cooperation (e.g., vital capacity, forced expiratory volume) can't be determined. The device is used for pulmonary function testing in diagnostic studies and for evaluation of diseases and chest deformities.
