    This study details a method for creating forced expirograms in anesthetized animals. It utilizes a whole-body plethysmograph and a Hewlett-Packard computer for precise measurements.

    Area of Science:

    • Physiology
    • Animal Models
    • Respiratory Mechanics

    Background:

    • Pulmonary function testing is crucial for respiratory research.
    • Accurate measurement of lung function in animal models presents unique challenges.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe a novel method for obtaining forced expirograms in anesthetized laboratory animals.
    • To establish a reliable technique for respiratory system assessment in preclinical studies.

    Main Methods:

    • The described method employs a whole-body plethysmograph.
    • A Hewlett-Packard (HP) 1000-F computer system is integrated for data acquisition and analysis.
    • Forced expiratory maneuvers are induced in anesthetized animals.
