Abstract

A simple method is presented of revealing and calculating any "switch-over" error in the determination of the residual lung volume. Our method is shown of avoiding the possibility of error in the alveolar nitrogen sample caused by the creation of a negative pressure in a patient with a low expiratory capacity. Through the use of tables a simplified method of accurately calculating residual volumes is presented.
