Se midieron los volúmenes pulmonares en 15 sujetos sanos mediante tres métodos distintos de dilución. Los resultados obtenidos demuestran que son idénticos los valores de capacidad residual funcional medidos con cualquiera de los tres métodos empleados. Sin embargo el método del lavado único de nitrógeno permite obtener información adicional como es el valor del volumen de cierre y la pendiente de la fase III.

Pulmonary volumes were measured in 15 healthy individuals by means of three different dilution methods. Results showed that values of functional residual capacity were identical with any of the three methods. Howe-ver, the single nitrogen washout method allowed addi-tional information, such as the value of the closing volu-me and the slope of phase III, to be measured.
