Comparison of thoracoabdominal calibration methods in normal human subjects

In 19 normal subjects in the supine posture, we compared accuracy and precision of calibration methods that utilized different ranges of tidal volumes and thoracoabdominal partitioning: spontaneous quiet breathing (QB), isovolume maneuvers, and voluntary efforts to breathe with variable tidal volume and thoracoabdominal partitioning. Thoracic and abdominal movements were measured with the respiratory area fluxometer. Calibration methods utilizing one or more types of respiratory efforts were applied to three measurement situations: QB, variable breathing (volume and thoracoabdominal partitioning), and simulated obstructive apnea (isovolume efforts). Qualitative diagnostic calibration (QDC) included QB data only. The isovolume method (ISOCAL) included isovolumetric efforts at end expiration (functional residual capacity) and QB. Multilinear regression analyses were performed on data sets that included 1) voluntary efforts to breathe with variable volume and thoracoabdominal partitioning (CAL 1), 2) QB in addition to variable volume and partitioning (CAL 2), and 3) isovolume maneuvers in addition to QB and variable volume and partitioning efforts (CAL 3). When calibration data included a wide range of tidal volume, variable thoracoabdominal partitioning, and isovolume efforts (CAL 3), a stable calibration with small bias and scatter during all respiratory patterns was obtained. Excluding isovolume maneuvers (CAL 2) and QB (CAL 1) did not diminish accuracy. Limiting data to isovolume efforts at functional residual capacity plus QB (ISO-CAL) caused a significant increase in scatter during variable breathing patterns. Limiting calibration data to that portion of QB with small variation in the uncalibrated sum of thoracic and abdominal movements (QDC) caused significant increases in scatter in both isovolume efforts and variable breathing.
