    Dynamic body temperature pressure saturated (BTPS) correction factors are crucial for accurate spirometric data. This study developed a model to reduce errors caused by ambient temperature fluctuations, improving spirometry results.

    Area of Science:

    • Pulmonary Function Testing
    • Biomedical Engineering
    • Respiratory Physiology

    Background:

    • Ambient temperature variations can significantly impact spirometric measurements.
    • Accurate body temperature pressure saturated (BTPS) correction is essential for reliable spirometry.
    • Existing methods may not fully account for dynamic temperature changes.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate dynamic BTPS correction factors for spirometric data.
    • To quantify errors in spirometry due to uncontrolled ambient temperatures.
    • To develop a model for improving the accuracy of spirometric measurements under varying temperatures.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized a forced expiratory simulator system heated to 37°C.
    • Employed a dry rolling-seal spirometer exposed to ambient temperatures from 3°C to 32°C.

  • Developed and applied a model to estimate dynamic BTPS correction factors.
  • Main Results:

    • Significant errors in forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) and peak flow were observed with constant BTPS correction at low temperatures (up to 7.7% for FEV1).
    • Water vapor condensation was found to introduce additional heat load, increasing FEV1 error by approximately 1% at lower temperatures.
    • The proposed dynamic BTPS correction model reduced FEV1 errors to less than 1.5% across the tested temperature range (3°C to 32°C).

    Conclusions:

    • Dynamic BTPS correction is necessary for accurate spirometry when ambient temperatures fluctuate.
    • The developed model effectively minimizes spirometric errors caused by temperature variations.
    • Implementing dynamic BTPS correction enhances the reliability of pulmonary function testing.
