Validation of a new respiratory inductive plethysmograph

Background: The respiratory inductive plethysmograph (RIP) can be used to monitor changes in end‐expiratory lung volume (ΔEELV), and thus, used in intensive care when evaluating positive end‐expiratory pressure (PEEP)‐induced changes in lung volumes in order to optimise the ventilator settings. We validated the newest model of RIP (Respitrace PlusTM), both under laboratory and clinical conditions, and made a comparison with a previously validated RIP (RespigraphTM) in the measurement of tidal volume (VT), long‐term EELV and PEEP‐induced acute ΔEELV.
