Abstract

Purpose

We reasoned that the application of positive pressure through air stacking (AS) technique could cause gas compression and the absolute lung volumes could be estimated. The aim of this study was to estimate the amount of gas compression (ΔV comp) during AS in healthy subjects positioned at 45° trunk inclination and verify if the simultaneous measurements of chest wall volume changes (ΔV CW), by optoelectronic plethysmography, and changes in lung volume (ΔV ao), by pneumotachograph, combined with pressure variation at the airways opening (ΔP ao) during AS are able to provide reliable data on absolute lung volumes.

Methods

Twenty healthy subjects (mean age 23.5 ± 3.8 years) were studied during a protocol that included slow vital capacity and AS maneuvers. V comp was calculated by subtracting ΔV ao and ΔV CW occurring during AS and total lung capacity (TLC) was estimated by applying Boyle–Mariote’s law using V comp and ΔP ao.

Results

During AS, 0.140 ± 0.050 L of gas was compressed with an average ΔP ao of 21.78 ± 6.18 cmH2O. No significant differences between the estimated TLC (−0.03 ± 3.0% difference, p = 0.6020), estimated FRC (−2.0 ± 12.4% difference, p = 0.5172), measured IC (1.2 ± 11.2% difference, p = 0.7627) and predicted values were found.

Conclusion

During AS, a significant gas compression occurs and absolute lung volumes can be estimated by simultaneous measurements of ΔV CW, ΔV ao and ΔP ao.
