Impedance pneumography: Is it possible?

The main purpose of this study was to describe the technique of impedance pneumography, the noninvasive method of quantitative, long lasting examination of respiratory system. In this paper there were presented physical foundations of the method, the measurement equipment and the different approaches to the measurement procedures. Also, various types and configurations of the electrodes were shown. The validation studies of impedance pneumography using clinically accepted reference the method were described, too. Finally, there were presented some proposals for future development of the technique.
