  • Abstract
    A previous communication presented a procedure to convert perturbational airways resistance to plethysmographic resistance. While working with this procedure, we discovered that one of the unknown exhalation parameters must be, set to a value of 1.0, and another represents the inverse of the respiratory system time constant. This simplifies the conversion procedure and makes it easier to apply.
