Abstract
PURPOSE: Plethysmographic determination of lung volumes using oral pressure (TLC) is spuriously high in patients with expiratory flow limitations during high frequency panting. This artifact is reportedly avoided by using esophageal pressure (TLC_e) or by panting less than 1 HZ. In this stud we evaluated the factors that may contribute to overestimation of TLC using oral pressure.
