Nitrogen washout (or Fowler's method) is a test for measuring anatomic dead space in the lung during a respiratory cycle, as well as some parameters related...

needed] The nitrogen washout technique uses a non-rebreathing open circuit. The technique is based on the assumptions that the nitrogen concentration...

Other complementary lung functions tests include plethysmography and nitrogen washout. Spirometry is indicated for the following reasons: to diagnose or...

to measure RV precisely, one would need to perform a test such as nitrogen washout, helium dilution or body plethysmography. Positioning plays a significant...
