Alterations in tidal volume over recording time during pulmonary function testing by barometric whole-body plethysmography in client-owned cats: a multicenter retrospective investigation
TV in clinical cats within the BWBP chamber tends to decrease with recording time. When a shorter section of breaths is desired for clinical evaluation, selecting 5 or 20 breaths from the beginning period of recording would have a higher TV, which might be advantageous for investigating obstructive airway problems. Alternatively, breaths selected from the middle or later stages of recording would be more representative of relaxed breathing over a longer period of time.
