AN ASSESSMENT OF THREE ELECTRONIC RESPIROMETERS

Abstract
Three electronic respirometers, two of which have been recently introduced (the Birchover respiratory flowmeter and the Wright respiration monitor), and one a prototype model (Spiroflo) have been laboratory tested in conditions designed to simulate possible modes of clinical use. It was found that the accuracy of the Spiroflo and Wright instruments were acceptable, but the Birchover was limited in its application and became less accurate in the variations of use described.
