The most promising lung function technique to monitor the involvement of small
airways is the multiple breath washout technique (MBW). It reflects the ventilation
inhomogeneity of the lung. It has been shown that MBW is extremely sensitive to
detect early structural changes. The new SPIROWARE® 3.1 is a flexible software
tool for easy performing, analyzing and reporting MBW and single breath (SBW)
washout tests. This powerful package is the graphical interface between
“ONLINE” quality controlled measurement and transparent documentation of the
evaluated data. The future oriented concept fullfils highest requirements of
reliability, functionality and easy operation.
Applications:
Tidal Breathing Analysis
FRC and ventilation inhomogeneity measurements
Lung Clearance Index (LCI) and Slope 3 analysis (SnIII)
Nitrogen Washout or SF6 FRC measurements
Single occlusion lung mechanics analysis
Capnography and Oximetry
Multiple and single breath FENO analysis
