158 – Analyzing Inspired & Expired Lung Volume – BSL

This application note describes how to use the Biopac Student Lab PRO software to automatically determine inspired and expired lung volume on a breath-by-breath basis. The application note assumes that you have a BIOPAC SS11LA or equivalent pneumotach air flow transducer. The documented procedure can be used to analyze human or animal data.

Associated Applications

• Sleep Studies - Long term recordings with up to 16 channels of data. Record EEG, EOG, EMG, respiration, temp., sound, limb position and more. Filter out EEG frequencies to score sleep stages.
• In vitro Pharmacology - Record from tissue bath, isolated organ, Ussing chamber, or use field stimulation. Advanced algorithms analyze Langendorff, working heart, and isolated perfused lung data.
• Respiration | Pulmonary Function - Perform lung volume measurements, examine pressure/volume relationships, and analyze respiratory gases. Use AcqKnowledge to integrate airflow and analyze data.
