A mechanical device intended to simulate/mimic the human lung(s) by imitating its physical properties. This device, commonly known as a test lung, may be a simple ventilation bag filled with foam rubber, or a complicated device, usually mechanical, that can...
A device used to simulate/mimic the human lung or lungs by imitating their physical properties. This device, commonly known as a test lung, may be a simple ventilation bag filled with foam rubber, or a complicated device, usually mechanical, that can be adj...
A manual, hand-held instrument designed to measure only the maximum rate of expiratory gas flow [peak expiratory flow (PEF) or peak expiratory flow rate (PEFR)] from the lungs. It typically includes a tube for patient exhalation, an easy-to-grip handle, and...
A computerized instrument designed to assess lung volume, flow, and mechanical parameters (including airway compliance and resistance) in young children and infants. It is different from an adult version in absolute dimensions and in the special procedures ...
A hand-held instrument designed to measure only the maximum rate of expiratory gas flow [peak expiratory flow (PEF) or peak expiratory flow rate (PEFR)] from the lungs. It is in the form of a cylinder with a mouthpiece for exhalation, and a calibrated analo...
A hand-held instrument designed to measure the maximum rate of oral or nasal inspiratory gas flow [peak inspiratory flow (PIF) or peak inspiratory flow rate (PIFR)] into the lungs, to assess airway patency. It is in the form of a cylinder with a mouthpiece ...
