Work 2. Pneumography in rest

The purpose: to Master a technique of graphic registration of respiratory movements of a thorax, to write down quiet respiration and to make the analysis pneumograms.

Work course: to Collect installation for registration of respiratory movements of a thorax. To set the examinee on a chair a back to installation that he did not see record of the respiration. The gauge of the pneumocount to fix on the most mobile part of a thorax.

To write down to pneumogram on Kymograph at: quiet respiration; deep respiration; to a delay of respiration and the subsequent involuntary short wind (despnoea); deep frequent respiration (hyperventilation) and the subsequent involuntary delay of respiration (apnoea). To paste received to pneumogram in a writing-book, to carry out the analysis, given to bring in the table:

Conclusions: to make the conclusion about character of respiration, considering, that quiet respiration should be rhythmical and uniform with frequency from 12 to 20 in a minute; that the respiration is a little bit shorter, than the exhalation and between them is usually observed smooth transition without pauses.
