Measurements of chest wall volume variation during tidal breathing in the supine and lateral positions in healthy subjects

Highlight • We studied the feasibility and the laterality of measurements of chest wall volume variation during tidal breathing in the lateral position in healthy subjects by optoelectronic plethysmography. • Chest wall volume measurements during quiet breathing in the lateral position have high mea...

Description
Summary:Highlight • We studied the feasibility and the laterality of measurements of chest wall volume variation during tidal breathing in the lateral position in healthy subjects by optoelectronic plethysmography. • Chest wall volume measurements during quiet breathing in the lateral position have high measuring accuracy. • Chest wall volume changes were lower on the dependent side in the lateral position than on the non-dependent side because of the decrease in abdominal rib cage and abdomen volume changes.
