Measuring respiratory function in mice using unrestrained whole-body plethysmography.
Respiratory dysfunction is one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in the world and the rates of mortality continue to rise. Quantitative assessment of lung function in rodent models is an important tool in the development of future therapies. Commonly used techniques for assessing respiratory function including invasive plethysmography and forced oscillation. While these technique...
متن کاملAcoustic plethysmography measures breathing in unrestrained neonatal mice.
Measurement of breathing volumes in neonatal mice is of growing importance in order to characterize the influence of development and genetic modifications on respiratory control to evaluate hypotheses concerned with human infant deficits that may affect sudden infant death syndrome, for example. Current techniques require undesirable physical constraints or incur possible artifacts specific to ...
متن کاملA reevaluation of the validity of unrestrained plethysmography in mice.
Presently, unrestrained plethysmography is widely used to assess bronchial responsiveness in mice. An empirical quantity known as enhanced pause is derived from the plethysmographic box pressure [P(b)(t), where t is time] and assumed to be an index of bronchoconstriction. We show that P(b)(t) is determined largely by gas conditioning when normal mice breathe spontaneously inside a closed chambe...
متن کاملR-V graph in whole body plethysmography
Slow spirometry and forced spirometry (flow volume loop) are often used to measure clinically relevant lung volumes and forced expiratory and inspiratory flows. Dynamic parameters, such as forced expiratory volumes in one second (FEV1) or forced vital capacity (FVC) and static lung volumes, such as expiratory reserve volume (ERV), inspiratory capacity (IC) and inspiratory vital capacity (IVC) c...
متن کاملRespiratory monitoring by inductive plethysmography in unrestrained subjects using position sensor-adjusted calibration.
BACKGROUND Portable respiratory inductive plethysmography (RIP) is promising for noninvasive monitoring of breathing patterns in unrestrained subjects. However, its use has been hampered by requiring recalibration after changes in body position. OBJECTIVES To facilitate RIP application in unrestrained subjects, we developed a technique for adjustment of RIP calibration using position sensor f...
